"Cesare Borgia 's code of honour was simple, and consisted in just one article: complete security in return for absolute loyalty. He never departed from this one rule. His bloodiest actions always came as a consequence of betrayals, rebellions and duplicities." — M. Pingiotti

— If you create us a kingdom, we will write the book of our future. The future of the Church, of the world we live in will be ours, yours, and your children's. You say nothing? Why do you think we wished you a cardinal? So you would be Pope one day. Carve us out a kingdom, Cesare, and be both king and pope. I am stunned into silence.

"Lucrezia, indeed, seems to have been the only person with whom Cesare established any real contact, the only person who could penetrate the façade of polished charm with which he faced the word." — The Fall of the House of Borgia, E. R. Chamberlin (1974)

FRANÇOIS ARNAUD as Cesare Borgia in 'The Borgias' (2011-2013) "He's awful, obviously. He's an awful man. [Laughs] But a brilliant one. He was a great politician, a great warrior, not a great man of the church, obviously. I respect him in a way."

Can you imagine Alexander asking Cesare to write this letter???

I'm alternately imagining him sighing or giving stank face while writing (dictating?) This

(On what aspect of Cesare Borgia resonated most with him) "His logic, I would say. For me, he found a way of justifying, if not to God, to himself, every single horrible act he committed. And his loyalty to the ones he loved." — FRANÇOIS ARNAUD
