what may be called the rehabilitation
of Lucretia Borgia. Thanks to victor
Hugo and Donizetti, the public In
general has not a very high opinion OF
the daughter of Pope Alexander vi.
and the sister of Cesar Borgia. But all
through so-called history runs strong
current of legend, which Is apt to sweep
away the facts and leave q substratum
of fancy. WAS Lucretia Borgia really
a Messalina and Julia?" asks N.
Yriarte, holding the cup OF poison
with one hand and the poniard with
the other?" If we study the annalists
of the neutrality-suspicious., for In
stance-we find no trace Of poison or
poniard; no more than of improper love
at most seven love letters, written to
Borgia, poet and cardinal. which En-
glish misses may read without the use
of a fan, in the glass case of the Am
brosiana of Milan, where also is pre-
served piously the lock of hair before
which Byron went into ecstasies. Luz
cretia Borgia was married at Is to q
nephew of the Sforza, Giovanni, lord Of
Pesaro, who was 70. Owing to the ir-
ruption of the French into Italy. soon
after their union in 1893, the course of
politics caused an annulment of the
marriage, to which the vatican lent
itself with the cynical morality of the
epoch.
To revenge himself the outraged hus-
band launched against Lucretia's father
frightful accusation. which may be
regarded as the foundation Of subse-
quent legends. The young beauty be-
came henceforth the shuttlecock of
politics. Being in need of the alliance
of Aragon, who was reigning at Naples,
the pope made a union between his
daughter and a natural son of Alphonse
H., king of Naples. He was reputed to
be the handsomest prince of his day in
Italy. being at that time II and his wife
IS years of age. Owing to the jealousy
of Lucretia's brother Caesar BOrgia, the,
handsome Alphonse was strangled in
the apartments of his father-in-law,
Alexander VI. In 1900 Lucretia welded
for the third time another Alphonse,
son of Hercules, duke of Ferrara. At
that time she was 20, and remained to
her death, seventeen years later, the
pearl of spOuses." Apart from the;
fleeing breath of scandal, which at
tributed to the princess two lovers at
the court of Ferrara. the chroniclers
golden-haired beauty. So (says NJ.
Yriarte) that we are forced to the con-
clusion that all her manifold wicked
ness must have been committed between
the ages of IS and 90. a supposition not
