  The startling truth behind
one of the most notorious dynasties in history is revealed in a remarkable new account by the acclaimed author of The
Tudors and A World Undone. Sweeping aside the gossip, slander, and distortion that have shrouded the Borgias for
centuries, G. J. Meyer offers an unprecedented portrait of the infamous Renaissance family and their storied milieu.
   
  THE BORGIAS
   
  They burst out of obscurity in Spain not
only to capture the great prize of the papacy, but to do so twice. Throughout a tumultuous half-century—as popes,
statesmen, warriors, lovers, and breathtakingly ambitious political adventurers—they held center stage in the
glorious and blood-drenched pageant known to us as the Italian Renaissance, standing at the epicenter of the power games
in which Europe’s kings and Italy’s warlords gambled for life-and-death stakes.
   
  Five
centuries after their fall—a fall even more sudden than their rise to the heights of power—they remain
immutable symbols of the depths to which humanity can descend: Rodrigo Borgia, who bought the papal crown and
prostituted the Roman Church; Cesare Borgia, who became first a teenage cardinal and then the most treacherous cutthroat
of a violent time; Lucrezia Borgia, who was as shockingly immoral as she was beautiful. These have long been stock
figures in the dark chronicle of European villainy, their name synonymous with unspeakable evil.
   
  But did
these Borgias of legend actually exist? Grounding his narrative in exhaustive research and drawing from rarely examined
key sources, Meyer brings fascinating new insight to the real people within the age-encrusted myth. Equally illuminating
is the light he shines on the brilliant circles in which the Borgias moved and the thrilling era they helped to shape, a
time of wars and political convulsions that reverberate to the present day, when Western civilization simultaneously
wallowed in appalling brutality and soared to extraordinary heights.
   
  Stunning in scope, rich in telling
detail, G. J. Meyer’s The Borgias is an indelible work sure to become the new standard on a family and a world
that continue to enthrall.
  
  Praise for The Borgias
   
 
“A vivid and at times startling reappraisal of one of the most notorious dynasties in history . . . If you thought
you knew the Borgias, this book will surprise you.”—Tracy Borman, author of
Queen of the Conqueror and Elizabeth’s Women
   
  “The mention of the Borgia family often
conjures up images of a ruthless drive for power via assassination, serpentine plots, and sexual debauchery. . . . [G.
J. Meyer] convincingly looks past the mythology to present a more nuanced portrait.”—Booklist
   
  “Meyer brings his considerable skills to another infamous
Renaissance family, the Borgias [and] a fresh look into the machinations of power in Renaissance Italy. . . . [He] makes
a convincing case that the Borgias have been given a raw deal.”—Historical
Novels Review
   
  “Fascinating . . . a gripping history of a tempestuous time and an infamous
family.”—Shelf Awareness
