The Life of Cesare Borgia John Stuart Middleton, and David Widger "The Life of Cesare Borgia" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and times of Cesare Borgia, a prominent historical figure of the Renaissance known for his ambition, complexity, and the notorious reputation of his family. The narrative examines the socio-political landscape and moral ambiguities of the era, particularly through the lens of the Borgia family and their notorious dealings within the Catholic Church. The opening of the work sets the stage for a deep exploration of the Renaissance, a time described as one of stark contrasts and intense human passion, where morality was often situational and defined by the context of the day. The author critiques modern judgments of historical figures based on contemporary standards and vows to present Cesare Borgia in a nuanced light, as both a product of his time and a formidable political player. The introductory chapters outline the Borgia family's rise, focusing on Roderigo Borgia’s ascent to the papacy as Alexander VI and pave the way for a more detailed examination of Cesare’s life and legacy, positioning him within the moral landscape of Renaissance Italy.
