GAME - Borgia/Renaissance Quiz - Answer and Set a Question
Nov 16 2011, 3:37 PM EST | Post edited: Nov 16 2011, 3:51 PM EST
This is a game I have nicked from my very good friend Royalfalcon ( I did ask if I could use!!!) who started one on The Tudors Wiki.

The idea is to set a question about either anything Borgia/Renaissance related (either historical or the tv show) and when the question answered that member sets a question. Have fun!!!!!

My question is Who stole a strand of Lucrezia Borgia's hair in 1816 ?
 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Just about anything - wooden objects, cannon, terracotta vases, crockery (which came in handy when forced to sell his silver to pay his army). These days, Lucrezia would probably be tapping her foot impatiently whilst he took ages to fit the perfect kitchen...

Question: Which princess turned down Cesare's proposals of marriage? Do you find this valuable?

That would be Carlotta of Naples, daughter of King Federigo. In declining the proposal she said she had no intention of being known as "La Cardinala".

My question: What is the name of Cesare's contemporary at the University of Pisa who became a Cardinal before Cesare did? Do you find this valuable?

This is a good one !

I'm not sure, I may be wrong, but was it because Ferdinand and Isabella had conquered Granada from the Moors? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
