Plot introduction
The book has a factual core, with fictional events used to create the unknown aspects of Pope Alexander VI, formerly Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, and his family's life. The book is peopled by real characters, including Niccolò Machiavelli, and the real relationships with members of the Borgia family. However, it tends to focus on the incestuous relationship between Lucrezia Borgia and her brother, which historically have never been proven.
