Add what you kno about the CHARACTER Lucrezia Borgia.

A beautiful young woman who is also wise beyond her years, Lucrezia is the apple of her father's eye. However, this does not prevent him from marrying her off at the earliest opportunity to Giovanni Sforza, a loutish brute whose family rules the powerful city-state of Milan. *Source Showtime

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you nightstarrocker for adding the recent correct information about Lucrezia Borgia.

Unfortunately, I had to edit a few historically accurate details about Lucrezia's life on her "Character Page" above,
and replace them with "Show/Character" details. The page titled "Lucrezia Borgia Historical Profile" is where we should add and edit the actual historical details. See below:

Thanks!
