Machinations

consistory:

The Vice Chancellor job had better come with overtime pay…

kate-argent:

Because of reasons.

The downloads are .zips so that the cyberpolice don’t break down my door, and within the .zips is an .epub of the book. You can view them on your computer with FBReader, or on an iOS device with Readmill. I’ve also linked the Goodreads page for each book so you can see whether or not the book is up your alley, and read what other people thought of it.

This is not necessarily a recommendation post because I haven’t yet read all of these, nor is it a comprehensive collection of every Borgia book out there: it’s just pretty much every Borgia ebook out there. Enjoy!

NON-FICTION:

Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love, and Death in Renaissance Italy by Sarah Bradford (mediafire / box)
Cesare Borgia: His Life and Times by Sarah Bradford (mediafire / box)
The Borgias: The Hidden History by G.J. Meyer (mediafire / box)
The Borgias and Their Enemies by Christopher Hibbert (mediafire / box)
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli (mediafire / box). While this is more of a political and philosophical read, Machiavelli was a fan of Cesare and often cites his actions.

(Approach with caution, take with a grain of salt, etc.)

The Poisoner Mysteries by Sara Poole (mediafire / box)
The Lucrezia Borgia books by Jean Plaidy (mediafire / box)
Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower (mediafire / box)
The Family by Mario Puzo (mediafire / box)

If any links break, please let me know and I will update the post straight away.

Cardinal Sforza - The “Book Keeper”.

Cardinal Sforza’s Hat is my new favourite character.

consistory:

I cannot handle the amount of sass in this picture.

I’m all for more Ascanio Sforza on Tumblr right now.

The Borgias, episode 3.01 “The Face of Death”

Those they have dispossessed, those they have made enemies of, those upon whom they have trodden in their ascent to power… let us gather them to us.

Really getting into Mr and Mrs Murder. Why is there no love on Tumblr for Jonny Pasvolsky’s character?
