The Borgia Family

Time - the Renaissance [1300-1600]

Country Spain

What were they like???

They were very religious but quite immoral - murder, blackmail, incest, bribery, slavery

They had heaps of enemies who were mostly 'noble' families.

They were really rich and considered nobility

They probably murdered lots of people

What did they do?

they loved wild parties with drinking and very outrageous behaviour!

they probably murdered their own family members - not entirely sure about this because they had lots of enemies and could have been murdered by them too

one of them had a disease which made him wear a mask - yuck!

they wanted political power [but wanted to get power in sneaky and immoral ways] but were really corrupt [not so different to today]

brothers and sisters were gross!!!! 

Lucrezia was a murderer and used to poison people - she had lots of husbands and they disappeared in mysterious circumstances

One of them was pope but had lots of children [10]+- that's weird!  

One of them was a saint?!?!
