1497 65438+ 10 In October, Giovanni returned to Rome from the battlefield and found his wife particularly enthusiastic and his relatives and friends particularly friendly. He decided that this was an ominous signal, immediately flew back to pesaro in disguise, and then asked his wife to follow him, but Lucrezia refused to go back to the stupid court of that "countryman". Subsequently, the Pope filed for divorce and asked Giovanni's uncle, Cardinal Ascanio sforza, to persuade him to agree to divorce. After Giovanni refused, the Pope declared that his daughter had no consummation, so the marriage was invalid.
1497 In March, Giovanni reluctantly agreed to divorce under various pressures, and was forced to sign a contract to dissolve the marriage because of "impotence". Six months later, he gave sworn testimony that Lucreza was a virgin.
Giovanni, who was publicly humiliated, accused the Pope of forcing him to divorce Lucrezia in order to keep her for himself. Subsequently, the accusation of incest quickly spread to Caesar. Historians hold different views on this. In the past, almost everyone believed this to be true, but now, a brand-new view has been formed. Giovanni either longs for revenge or believes it is true. He is an indifferent person, from an indifferent family, and can't understand the intimacy and warmth among Borgia members.
In fact, there is a very special relationship between Borgia's children. Lucrezia loves her three brothers, especially Caesar and Juan. However, there is more jealousy than friendship between Caesar and Juan. As soon as the accusation of incest came out, it was immediately spread as the main reason for the disagreement between the two. The real reason is more likely to be that Alexander VI has an abnormal preference for Juan, regardless of Caesar's eldest son status, and Caesar is far superior in intelligence, talent and appearance.
When their half-brother, Peter Luigi, died, Juan skipped the order of inheritance and got the Principality of Gandia, which deeply angered Caesar. In order to prepare for Juan's wedding, the Pope dressed him up in luxury, and a jeweler worked hard for months to make jewelry for him. This extremely arrogant and conceited young man, coupled with his prominent position, made Caesar very angry. 1497 In June, the Pope started the divorce agenda, and Lucrezia fled Rome and went to St. Sisto Abbey, waiting for the result of her divorce from her first husband. During this period, only Perotaux Calderon was responsible for communicating with the outside world as a messenger. 1498 In February, the bodies of Peloto Cardron and Pantasila were found in the Tiber River. In March 1498, Ambassador Ferreira reported that Lucreza had given birth. Although denied, a child was born that year before Lucreza married her second husband. The child was named Giovanni Borgia, and historians called him "the son of Rome".
Rumors have emerged about the church, the child and Giovanni Borgia. At first, he was considered Caesar's child. Later, this story contradicted the first one. He was considered to be the secret child of Pope Alexander VI. Lucrezia's name was not mentioned in any statement, and the statement that she was the mother of the child was never confirmed. Its authenticity is still under debate, but it is generally believed that in the monastery, she was conceived from the messenger of her father Peloto Calderon. Peloto is a handsome young Spaniard and the darling of the Pope. People found him in the Tiber River, and the time of murder was around the birth of the legendary Lucreza.
1502, shortly after Caesar conquered Camerino, Giovanni Borgia, as the eldest son of the Duke of Romania, inherited Camerino and became the Duke of Camerino (150 1 year, Caesar was the Duke of Romania). However, shortly after Alexander VI's death, Giovanni went to Ferrara to live with Lucrezia, where he was accepted as Lucrezia's half-brother.
Although there are various rumors and inconsistent facts, more people believe that the father of this child is Caesar. At that time, Caesar was still a cardinal If he had an improper sexual relationship with his sister, the news would be concealed by insiders, especially his papal father. 1498, Caesar first met Lucrezia's second husband, Prince Alfonso of Aragon, and was very satisfied with his handsome appearance and good personality. In fact, Alfonso is very famous in these fields and has a good reputation. There is a lot of conclusive evidence that Lucreza and Alfonso really love each other. It is said that Caesar's love quickly turned into jealousy and hatred, thinking that Alfonso took his place in his sister's heart and took away her love. Moreover, Caesar's appearance was destroyed by syphilis, and even after he recovered, he left a scar, which made him care very much, so he hated Alfonso even more. When Alfonso visited Rome, Caesar's attendants attacked him at night. In retaliation, Alfonso's attendants also shot arrows at Caesar while he was pacing in the garden, which greatly angered Caesar.
Soon this family ended Lucreza's happiness. Cartraud of Naples refused to marry Caesar, and the French king promised Caesar a princess. With the change of political situation, the Borgia family hoped to form an alliance with France, so Lucrezia's marriage became a huge obstacle to the alliance. Alfonso vaguely felt his fate and fled Rome, but Lucrezia soon found her husband and returned to Rome together. Jonah Bukadus, the etiquette officer in Alexander VI, briefly recorded the disaster that happened when the young people came back in his diary. He wrote that Alfonso was assassinated on the steps of St. Peter's Palace at the night of1July 500 10, and the attacker then fled with forty riders. He's dying.
A month later, in August of 18, it is said that when Alfonso recovered, Caesar came to his room and whispered beside him, "Those who don't finish breakfast will be killed before dinner." Later that day, Caesar ordered the assassin Micheletto to strangle Lucrezia's young husband Alfonso in the recovery room.
