Cesare Borgia

We join with our good friends at A History of Italy Podcast to bring you a two-part investigation into one of the most notorious dynasties of the Renaissance, the Borgias. This week, we focus on the priest-turned-warrior Cesare Borgia, who used murderous conspiracies and battlefield tactics to attempt to forge a new state during the Italian Wars.
