First off, I sincerely apologize for not responding earlier. And the Borgias? Sadly, I can't tell you much other than the fact that they have a bad rep due to biased sources--the pope certainly didn't molest his daughter. There were even claims that Alexander was Jewish, mainly because he didn't persecute Jews and actually provided a number of them with safe asylum in Rome. Cesare was certainly brutal, but in those days, you had to be or you'd be eviscerated. He was a rapist and likely did harbor an attraction to his sister, but after conquering cities, he would choose competent, not-all-that-bad lackies to run them. All in all, the Borgias were certainly decadent, but all the sources about them must be taken with a grain of salt.
