The Pope dies. Rodrigo Borgia, in spite of his age and his many illegitimate children, sees a last chance for election to the Papal throne. He sets about achieving it by a mixture of bribery, blackmail and political cunning.
Charles VIII of France, at the head of a vast army, invades Northern Italy on his way to claim the Kingdom of Naples. Rome stands defenceless in his path. Has the power of the Borgias been shortlived?
Having scored a diplomatic victory over the French, the Pope now turns his attention to crushing the treacherous Orsini family. Cesare's jealousy is further inflamed by the appointment of his brother, Juan, as Commander of the Papal Army.
Luerezia awaits the annulment of her marriage and the birth of her baby in a remote convent. Juan, Rodrigo's favourite son, is dead; Luerezia does not know that Cesare arranged the murder because of a mistaken belief that Juan had made her pregnant.
Lucrezia has been persuaded to agree to another marriage, this time to Alfonso d'Este, eldest son of the Duke of Ferrara; but Cesare demands that her first loyalty be always to him.
Rodrigo Borgia has lost control of Cesare, who has made as many foes as conquests. As Cesare rides to Milan to meet Louis XII of France, his enemies attempt to join forces against him.
Although Cesare has failed in his attempt to poison his old rival, Cardinal Rovere, he believes he can control the new Pope Pius III. But Pius' reign is rapidly cut short.
