Alexander had widespread public support, and was capable, diplomatic and skilled, as well as rich, hedonistic and concerned with ostentatious displays. While Alexander at first tried to keep his role separate from family, his children soon benefited from his election, and received huge wealth; Cesare became a cardinal in 1493.. Relatives arrived in Rome and were rewarded and the Borgais were soon endemic in Italy. While many other Popes had been nepotists, Alexander was promoting his own children and had a range of mistresses, something that further fuelled a growing and negative reputation. At this point some of the Borgia children also began to cause problems, as they annoyed their new families, and at one point Alexander appears to have threatened to excommunicate a mistress for returning to her husband.
Alexander soon had to navigate a way through the warring states and families which surrounded him, and at first he tried negotiation, including the marriage of a twelve year old Lucrezia to Giovanni Sforza. He had some success with dipomacy, but it was short lived. Meanwhile Lucrezia's husband proved a poor soldier, and he fled in opposition to the pope, who then had him divorced. We don't know why he fled, but accounts claim he believed rumours of incest between Alexander and Lucrezia that persist to this day.Alexander looked at the condition of the Papal States, left in disarray after the first French invasion, and decided military action was needed. He thus ordered Cesare, who was in Milan with his army, to pacify large areas of central Italy for the Borgias. Cesare had early success, although when his large French contingent returned to France he needed a new army and returned to Rome. Cesare seemed to have control over his father now, and people after papal appointments and acts found it more profitable to seek out the son instead of Alexander. Cesare also became Captain-General of the churches armies, and a dominant figure in central Italy. Lucrezia's husband was also killed, possibly on the orders of an angry Cesare, who also was rumoured to be acting against those who badmouthed him in Rome by assassinations. Murder was common in Rome, and many of the unsolved deaths were attributed to the Borgias, and usually Cesare.
With a substantial war chest from Alexander, Cesare conquered., and at one point marched to remove Naples from the control of the dynasty who had given the Borgias their start. When Alexander went south to oversee the division of land, Lucrezia was left behind in Rome as regent. The Borgia family gained great amounts of land in the Papal States, which were now concentrated in the hands of one family more than ever before, and Lucrezia was packed off to marry Alfonso d'Este to secure a flank of Cesare's conquests.
The Fall of the Borgias
As the alliance with France now seemed to be holding Cesare back, plans were made, deals struck, wealth acquired and enemies murdered to take a change of direction, but in mid-1503 Alexander died of malaria. Cesare found his benefactor gone, his realm not yet consolidated, large foreign armies in the north and south, and himself also deeply ill. Furthermore, with Cesare weak, his enemies rushed back from exile to threaten his lands, and when Cesare failed to coerce the papal conclave he retreated from Rome. He persuaded the new pope to re-admit him safely, but that pontiff died after twenty six days and Cesare had to flee. He supported a great Borgia rival, Cardinal della Rovere, as Pope Julius III, but with his lands conquered and his diplomacy rebuffed an annoyed Julius arrested Cesare. Borgias were now thrown out of their positions, or forced into keeping quiet. Developments allowed Cesare to be released, and he went to Naples, but he was arrested by Ferdinand of Aragon and locked up again. Cesare did escape after two years, but was killed in a skirmish in 1507. He was just 31. http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/italyandthecitystates/a/The-Borgias.htm

The Middle Ages and Renaissance had its share of powerful and interesting women. It included rulers, intellectuals, military commanders and even some saints. But here are three women who were mostly known for their infamy!
When Lucrezia was born into the Borgia family in 1480, she was destined for a life of intrigue and innuendo. She was the illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, a churchmen who schemed his way into becoming Pope Alexander the Sixth in 1492. Known for exquisite beauty, Lucrezia was married off three times by her father for political alliances. She also had numerous affairs, and was even able to divorce her first husband on the grounds that they never had consumated their marriage - although she was pregnant at time.
Her second husband was murdered by Lucrezia's brother, Cesare, who had a close relationship with his sister. The enemies of the Borgia family even accused them of having an incestuous affair. Lucrezia was perhaps one of the more innocent members of the Borgia family, but she will be forever be linked to one of the most notorious bloodlines in history.
Mary the first, queen of England, gained the nickname "Bloody Mary" for the wave of executions and terror she inflicted during her reign in the years 1553 to 1558. The daughter of King Henry the Eighth, she was deeply opposed to Henry's break with the Catholic church. After the death of her brother Edward the Sixth, Mary was able to overcome a challenge to the throne and become the Queen of England. She soon found a husband - King Philip of Spain, although her marriage was deeply unpopular with her subjects.
Her reputation went down further when she tried to reimpose Catholicism in England - hundreds of men and women who remained Protestant were executed - often by being burned at the stake, while hundreds more fled the country. Even those who repented, like the Archbishop of Canterbury, were executed anyways. She failed to have a child before illness struck her down at the age of 42. Her sister Elizabeth then came to the throne, and undid the repression against Protestants and going on to become one of England's best known rulers.
Born 7 August 1560, Countess Erzsébet (Elizabeth) Bathory was one of history's first known serial killers. She was rumoured to be a product of upper class inbreeding; something that was prevalent in tumultuous sixteenth century Hungary.
She was accused of having numerous affairs, of engaging in lesbian encounters and dabbling in witchcraft and the occult. She was also accused of unspeakable acts of cruelty and murder.
Elizabeth engaged in horrific acts of brutality on her hapless victims; biting, exposure, branding, the severing of body parts and the use of an Iron Maiden were but a few of her preferred modes of torture.
Elizabeth was perhaps best known for her infamous "blood baths" where she gained pleasure by smearing and bathing herself in the blood of her victims in an effort to retain her youth and beauty.
She was eventually arrested on December 30, 1610. It has been speculated that between 1585 and 1610, Elizabeth and her four accomplices murdered approximately 650 women. She was sentenced to death but instead lived out the remainder of her life walled up in Csejte (Čachtický) Castle. She died on August 21st, 1614.

As many of you know, Michael Hirst has a new miniseries for Showtime in the works for Spring 2011. This time he has an Italian Renaissance family up his sleeve - the infamous Spanish-Italian clan of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia who would later become Pope Alexander VI. The new series will star Jeremy Irons in the titular role of the wily patriarch.
So far there is only a brief trailer circulating on the Showtime website for the new series, mainly composed of reused clips from the Tudors. So very simply, what I attempted to do was to use lesser known snippets from The Tudors to cast some of the main characters.
This is not in any way shape or form related to the Showtime production, nor are these the actors who have been cast in the roles. It is a FANMADE trailer, all in fun, showcasing the Pope, two of his mistresses, two of his illegitimate children and their respective spouses.

Below is the outline of the slides used in the lesson:
European Transformations II:The Renaissance
The Renaissance
Banking
The Printing Press
The Reformation
The Italian Renaissance
Renaissance means Rebirth, as in the rebirth of Greek and Roman learning and culture
Rome is in Italy, so it's no surprise that the Renaissance starts here
Old Latin and Greek texts translated
Visual arts and architecture copied Greco-Roman styles
Machiavelli and the Borges
Politics was incredibly ruthless
Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince: famous book on ruling through fear and lies
The Borgia family ruled along Machiavellian principles, scheming to put two Popes on the throne and to control various Spanish and Italian kingdoms and cities
The Northern Renaissance
Through the 1400s and 1500s, the Renaissance spread northward into France, Germany, England, etc.
These areas are further from Italy, so the Dark Ages were rougher, and life was less organized
This was helped by Latin being a common European language
Over time, northern peoples would adopt the art, literature, and culture of the Renaissance and expand on it
William Shakespeare
Shakespeare wrote during the later English Renaissance, but much of his style and source material came from the Italian and English Renaissance
The Roots of Banking
Banking is an old human practice
Babylonians and Sumerians would borrow money against expected crop harvests
Traditionally, it was forbidden to lend money at interest, especially for Christians
The Rise of Usury and the Medicis
Gradually, the laws against usury (lending money at interest) were relaxed
Jews were allowed to lend money at interest—often because they were forbidden to own land or do other business
Eventually, Christians couldn't resist
One of the first great banking families was the Medici family
Banking, Finance, and European Colonialism
Loaning money and selling bonds (basically a fancy IOU)—known as finance—became very important to European economies
Finance helped explorers and early "Joint Stock Companies" invest in ships and men; it was risky, but it was profitable
Connection to The Merchant of Venice
Johannes Gutenberg and the Printing Press
Printing was an older Chinese and Korean technology—used woodblock and early movable type systems
Gutenberg invented moveable type independently, and his major contribution
First book: The Bible
Effects of the Printing Press
Books before had to be copied by hand, so they were VERY expensive
Printing was still expensive, but it became cheaper
People started to learn to read more—mainly so they could read The Bible
Europe became much more broadly literate
Once people could read and understand The Bible for themselves, the Church lost power
Early Struggles against the Church
By this point, the Church (what we now call the Catholic Church) had been pretty much the only religion in Europe for about 500 years
Many controversies of the Medieval Church: Popes murdering each other, the shift of the Holy See to Avignon France, Popes having children, Priests who couldn't read
The Indulgence Controversy
Medieval Catholicism had three after-lives: Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory
Medieval priests, under the permission of the Church, took money from people so their relatives could get out of Purgatory sooner
They also sold special documents that would forgive sins, sometimes in advance (plan ahead!)
The Reformation
In protest to the selling of indulgences, Martin Luther, a German monk, published his "95 Theses"
The act set of a chain of reactions across Northern ad Western Europe
The Reformation
Luther, along with the French theologian Jean Calvin, proposed Christian ideas that ran counter to the Church
Luther's major interpretation of the Bible said that only faith could get Christians into Heaven, not good actions
Calvin's major interpretation was that some people were predestined to go to Heaven, and that good conduct was evidence of one's predestination
Effects of the Reformation
Both men, as well as others, caused "the shattering of Christendom" in Western Europe
These groups—Lutherans, Calvinists, Puritans, Quakers, Baptists, Huguenots, and later Methodists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses (the list goes on)—all belong to the general category of "Protestants" (i.e. non-Catholics)
Effects of the Reformation
This led to the weakening of the Catholic Church's hold on Western Europe
Eastern and Southern Europe remained either Catholic or Orthodox Christian
The Struggle over English Succession
Henry VIII's desire for a son led to his desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon
The Pope's rejection of Henry's request led to Henry breaking away from the Church and forming the Church of England—aka The Anglican Church
The Thirty Years War

The Borgias, also known as the Borjas, Borjia, were a European Papal family of Italian and Spanish origin with the name stemming from the familial fief seat of Borja belonging to their Aragonese Lords; they became prominent during the Renaissance. The Borgias were patrons of the arts, and their support allowed many artists of the Renaissance to realize their potential. The most brilliant personalities of this era regularly visited their court.
The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in the 1400s and 1500s. They produced two popes during this period, Alfons de Borja who ruled as Pope Calixtus III during 1455–1458, and Rodrigo Lanzol Borgia, as Pope Alexander VI, during 1492–1503. Today they are remembered for their corrupt rule during the reign of Alexander VI. They have been accused of many different crimes, including adultery, simony, theft, rape, bribery, incest, and murder (especially murder by arsenic poisoning). Because of their search for power, they made enemies of other powerful families such as the Medici and the Sforza, as well as the influential Dominican friar Savonarola.

But here are three women who were mostly known for their infamy! When Lucrezia was born into the Borgia family in 1480, she was destined for a life of intrigue and innuendo. She was the illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, a churchmen who schemed his way into becoming Pope Alexander the Sixth in 1492. Known for exquisite beauty, Lucrezia was married off three times by her father for political alliances.

The Borgias [Fanmade]
Read description before you flame me! As many of you know, Michael Hirst has a new miniseries for Showtime in the works for Spring 2011. This time he has an Italian Renaissance family up his sleeve - the infamous Spanish-Italian clan of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia who would later become Pope Alexander VI. The new series will star Jeremy Irons in the titular role of the wily patriarch. So far there is only a brief trailer circulating on the Showtime website for the new series, mainly composed of reused clips from the Tudors. So very simply, what I attempted to do was to use lesser known snippets from The Tudors to cast some of the main characters. This is not in any way shape or form related to the Showtime production, nor are these the actors who have been cast in the roles. It is a FANM... -

Alexander had widespread public support, and was capable, diplomatic and skilled, as well as rich, hedonistic and concerned with ostentatious displays. While Alexander at first tried to keep his role separate from family, his children soon benefited from his election, and received huge wealth; Cesare became a cardinal in 1493.. Relatives arrived in Rome and were rewarded and the Borgais were soon endemic in Italy. While many other Popes had been nepotists, Alexander was promoting his own children and had a range of mistresses, something that further fuelled a growing and negative reputation. At this point some of the Borgia children also began to cause problems, as they annoyed their new families, and at one point Alexander appears to have threatened to excommunicate a mistress for returning to her husband.
Alexander soon had to navigate a way through the warring states and families which surrounded him, and at first he tried negotiation, including the marriage of a twelve year old Lucrezia to Giovanni Sforza. He had some success with dipomacy, but it was short lived. Meanwhile Lucrezia's husband proved a poor soldier, and he fled in opposition to the pope, who then had him divorced. We don't know why he fled, but accounts claim he believed rumours of incest between Alexander and Lucrezia that persist to this day.Alexander looked at the condition of the Papal States, left in disarray after the first French invasion, and decided military action was needed. He thus ordered Cesare, who was in Milan with his army, to pacify large areas of central Italy for the Borgias. Cesare had early success, although when his large French contingent returned to France he needed a new army and returned to Rome. Cesare seemed to have control over his father now, and people after papal appointments and acts found it more profitable to seek out the son instead of Alexander. Cesare also became Captain-General of the churches armies, and a dominant figure in central Italy. Lucrezia's husband was also killed, possibly on the orders of an angry Cesare, who also was rumoured to be acting against those who badmouthed him in Rome by assassinations. Murder was common in Rome, and many of the unsolved deaths were attributed to the Borgias, and usually Cesare.
With a substantial war chest from Alexander, Cesare conquered., and at one point marched to remove Naples from the control of the dynasty who had given the Borgias their start. When Alexander went south to oversee the division of land, Lucrezia was left behind in Rome as regent. The Borgia family gained great amounts of land in the Papal States, which were now concentrated in the hands of one family more than ever before, and Lucrezia was packed off to marry Alfonso d'Este to secure a flank of Cesare's conquests.
The Fall of the Borgias
As the alliance with France now seemed to be holding Cesare back, plans were made, deals struck, wealth acquired and enemies murdered to take a change of direction, but in mid-1503 Alexander died of malaria. Cesare found his benefactor gone, his realm not yet consolidated, large foreign armies in the north and south, and himself also deeply ill. Furthermore, with Cesare weak, his enemies rushed back from exile to threaten his lands, and when Cesare failed to coerce the papal conclave he retreated from Rome. He persuaded the new pope to re-admit him safely, but that pontiff died after twenty six days and Cesare had to flee. He supported a great Borgia rival, Cardinal della Rovere, as Pope Julius III, but with his lands conquered and his diplomacy rebuffed an annoyed Julius arrested Cesare. Borgias were now thrown out of their positions, or forced into keeping quiet. Developments allowed Cesare to be released, and he went to Naples, but he was arrested by Ferdinand of Aragon and locked up again. Cesare did escape after two years, but was killed in a skirmish in 1507. He was just 31. http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/italyandthecitystates/a/The-Borgias.htm

The Middle Ages and Renaissance had its share of powerful and interesting women. It included rulers, intellectuals, military commanders and even some saints. But here are three women who were mostly known for their infamy!
When Lucrezia was born into the Borgia family in 1480, she was destined for a life of intrigue and innuendo. She was the illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, a churchmen who schemed his way into becoming Pope Alexander the Sixth in 1492. Known for exquisite beauty, Lucrezia was married off three times by her father for political alliances. She also had numerous affairs, and was even able to divorce her first husband on the grounds that they never had consumated their marriage - although she was pregnant at time.
Her second husband was murdered by Lucrezia's brother, Cesare, who had a close relationship with his sister. The enemies of the Borgia family even accused them of having an incestuous affair. Lucrezia was perhaps one of the more innocent members of the Borgia family, but she will be forever be linked to one of the most notorious bloodlines in history.
Mary the first, queen of England, gained the nickname "Bloody Mary" for the wave of executions and terror she inflicted during her reign in the years 1553 to 1558. The daughter of King Henry the Eighth, she was deeply opposed to Henry's break with the Catholic church. After the death of her brother Edward the Sixth, Mary was able to overcome a challenge to the throne and become the Queen of England. She soon found a husband - King Philip of Spain, although her marriage was deeply unpopular with her subjects.
Her reputation went down further when she tried to reimpose Catholicism in England - hundreds of men and women who remained Protestant were executed - often by being burned at the stake, while hundreds more fled the country. Even those who repented, like the Archbishop of Canterbury, were executed anyways. She failed to have a child before illness struck her down at the age of 42. Her sister Elizabeth then came to the throne, and undid the repression against Protestants and going on to become one of England's best known rulers.
Born 7 August 1560, Countess Erzsébet (Elizabeth) Bathory was one of history's first known serial killers. She was rumoured to be a product of upper class inbreeding; something that was prevalent in tumultuous sixteenth century Hungary.
She was accused of having numerous affairs, of engaging in lesbian encounters and dabbling in witchcraft and the occult. She was also accused of unspeakable acts of cruelty and murder.
Elizabeth engaged in horrific acts of brutality on her hapless victims; biting, exposure, branding, the severing of body parts and the use of an Iron Maiden were but a few of her preferred modes of torture.
Elizabeth was perhaps best known for her infamous "blood baths" where she gained pleasure by smearing and bathing herself in the blood of her victims in an effort to retain her youth and beauty.
She was eventually arrested on December 30, 1610. It has been speculated that between 1585 and 1610, Elizabeth and her four accomplices murdered approximately 650 women. She was sentenced to death but instead lived out the remainder of her life walled up in Csejte (Čachtický) Castle. She died on August 21st, 1614.

Read description before you flame me!
As many of you know, Michael Hirst has a new miniseries for Showtime in the works for Spring 2011. This time he has an Italian Renaissance family up his sleeve - the infamous Spanish-Italian clan of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia who would later become Pope Alexander VI. The new series will star Jeremy Irons in the titular role of the wily patriarch.
So far there is only a brief trailer circulating on the Showtime website for the new series, mainly composed of reused clips from the Tudors. So very simply, what I attempted to do was to use lesser known snippets from The Tudors to cast some of the main characters.
This is not in any way shape or form related to the Showtime production, nor are these the actors who have been cast in the roles. It is a FANMADE trailer, all in fun, showcasing the Pope, two of his mistresses, two of his illegitimate children and their respective spouses.
Clips: Taken from Season 1 and Season 2 of Showtime's The Tudors

Below is the outline of the slides used in the lesson:
European Transformations II:The Renaissance
The Renaissance
Banking
The Printing Press
The Reformation
The Italian Renaissance
Renaissance means Rebirth, as in the rebirth of Greek and Roman learning and culture
Rome is in Italy, so it's no surprise that the Renaissance starts here
Old Latin and Greek texts translated
Visual arts and architecture copied Greco-Roman styles
Machiavelli and the Borges
Politics was incredibly ruthless
Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince: famous book on ruling through fear and lies
The Borgia family ruled along Machiavellian principles, scheming to put two Popes on the throne and to control various Spanish and Italian kingdoms and cities
The Northern Renaissance
Through the 1400s and 1500s, the Renaissance spread northward into France, Germany, England, etc.
These areas are further from Italy, so the Dark Ages were rougher, and life was less organized
This was helped by Latin being a common European language
Over time, northern peoples would adopt the art, literature, and culture of the Renaissance and expand on it
William Shakespeare
Shakespeare wrote during the later English Renaissance, but much of his style and source material came from the Italian and English Renaissance
The Roots of Banking
Banking is an old human practice
Babylonians and Sumerians would borrow money against expected crop harvests
Traditionally, it was forbidden to lend money at interest, especially for Christians
The Rise of Usury and the Medicis
Gradually, the laws against usury (lending money at interest) were relaxed
Jews were allowed to lend money at interest—often because they were forbidden to own land or do other business
Eventually, Christians couldn't resist
One of the first great banking families was the Medici family
Banking, Finance, and European Colonialism
Loaning money and selling bonds (basically a fancy IOU)—known as finance—became very important to European economies
Finance helped explorers and early "Joint Stock Companies" invest in ships and men; it was risky, but it was profitable
Connection to The Merchant of Venice
Johannes Gutenberg and the Printing Press
Printing was an older Chinese and Korean technology—used woodblock and early movable type systems
Gutenberg invented moveable type independently, and his major contribution
First book: The Bible
Effects of the Printing Press
Books before had to be copied by hand, so they were VERY expensive
Printing was still expensive, but it became cheaper
People started to learn to read more—mainly so they could read The Bible
Europe became much more broadly literate
Once people could read and understand The Bible for themselves, the Church lost power
Early Struggles against the Church
By this point, the Church (what we now call the Catholic Church) had been pretty much the only religion in Europe for about 500 years
Many controversies of the Medieval Church: Popes murdering each other, the shift of the Holy See to Avignon France, Popes having children, Priests who couldn't read
The Indulgence Controversy
Medieval Catholicism had three after-lives: Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory
Medieval priests, under the permission of the Church, took money from people so their relatives could get out of Purgatory sooner
They also sold special documents that would forgive sins, sometimes in advance (plan ahead!)
The Reformation
In protest to the selling of indulgences, Martin Luther, a German monk, published his "95 Theses"
The act set of a chain of reactions across Northern ad Western Europe
The Reformation
Luther, along with the French theologian Jean Calvin, proposed Christian ideas that ran counter to the Church
Luther's major interpretation of the Bible said that only faith could get Christians into Heaven, not good actions
Calvin's major interpretation was that some people were predestined to go to Heaven, and that good conduct was evidence of one's predestination
Effects of the Reformation
Both men, as well as others, caused "the shattering of Christendom" in Western Europe
These groups—Lutherans, Calvinists, Puritans, Quakers, Baptists, Huguenots, and later Methodists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses (the list goes on)—all belong to the general category of "Protestants" (i.e. non-Catholics)
Effects of the Reformation
This led to the weakening of the Catholic Church's hold on Western Europe
Eastern and Southern Europe remained either Catholic or Orthodox Christian
The Struggle over English Succession
Henry VIII's desire for a son led to his desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon
The Pope's rejection of Henry's request led to Henry breaking away from the Church and forming the Church of England—aka The Anglican Church
The Thirty Years War
