| Description: | Three episodes in the life of Cesare Borgia. With all the pomp and ceremony of medieval Italy as a colourful backdrop, Sabatini masterfully recreates the political intrigue and misguided loyalties that reigned as the ‘Banner of the Bull’ waved victoriously over the land. Weaving deft descriptions and spirited characterisations into historical events, this is the remarkable story of the notorious Cesare Borgia from the point of view of 'The Urbinian; The Peruguian; and The Venetian'.
