Îïèñàíèå: The story of `s most infamous family is brought to the screen with surprising subtlety in this historical drama. Near the end of the 15th century, the Borgias are one of the most wealthy families in Europe, with their numbers divided between Spain and Italy, and when Rodrigo Borgia is elected as Pope, his three sons — Cesar, Juan, and Jofre — find themselves raised to positions of power as their father arranges politically advantageous marriages for them. Rodrigo`s daughter Lucrecia is also used as a bargaining chip when he persuades her to wed Giovanni Sforza, the favored son of a family often in opposition to the Borgias. While Rodrigo benefits from these alliances, his children do not — Cesar`s dreams of serving in the military are dashed when he is made to join his father in the church, Juan`s time in the Army is full of unhappy consequences, Jofre's marriage to Sancha de Aragon is not fated to be a happy one, and murder stains the lives of most of the family.
