Lucrezia Borgia was an Italian noblewoman born in 1480, known for her association with the powerful Borgia family during the Renaissance. She was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI and became a significant political figure through her marriages, which were arranged to strengthen alliances. Despite her family's notorious reputation for intrigue and ambition, Lucrezia was often portrayed as a victim of her circumstances. She married three times, with her first marriage to Giovanni Sforza and later to Alfonso of Aragon, both aimed at consolidating power. Her life remains a subject of fascination and debate in history.
