The Borgia Family was a powerful and influential Italian noble family during the Renaissance, particularly known for their political and religious ambitions. They rose to prominence in the late 15th century, with key figures such as Rodrigo Borgia, who became Pope Alexander VI, and his children, including Cesare Borgia and Lucrezia Borgia. Their actions often involved intrigue, alliances, and conflicts, which shaped the political landscape of Italy. The family's legacy is marked by both their contributions to the Catholic Church and their notorious reputation for corruption and manipulation. The Borgias are often associated with themes of power and betrayal, making them a popular subject in literature and art, including the famous series "The Borgias."
