Lucrezia Borgia was the Pope's daughter and over the centuries her name has been a byword for poison, incest and intrigue. Novels, TV series, plays and an opera have been written about her. But was she just a victim of malicious gossip that vastly exaggerated her actual misdoings ? To help uncover the story the expert witness is historian and author Sarah Dunant. The presenter is Matthew Parris and the producer is Perminder Khatkar. :Nancy Dell'Olio is currently an Ambassador for CharityStars UK. :Sarah Dunant is author of 'The Borgias-Blood and Beauty'.
