Characters

Alfonso I d'Este

Alfonso I d'Este (21 July 1476 – 31 October 1534) succeeded the Duchy of Ferrara after his father's death. His second marriage is to Lucrezia Borgia, a political marriage. He is thus the third husband of Lucrezia Borgia.

Ercole I d'Este

Ercole I d'Este (26 October 1431 – 15 June 1505) is the Duke of Ferrara. He reluctantly agreed to the marriage of his son Alfonso to Lucrezia Borgia, a marriage that brought notable territorial donations and better relationship with the Papal states during the Italian Wars.

Archduke Francis Ferdinand d'Este

Franz Ferdinand (18 December 1863 – 28 June 1914) is the descendent of Este family and the heir of Austria Hungary throne. He is most notable in history for his assassination in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, which triggered World War I.

Isabella D'Este

Isabella d'Este (19 May 1474 – 13 February 1539) is the daughter of Ercole I d'Este and the Marchesa of Mantua, Italy. She is married to Francesco Gonzaga at 16, who would later have an affair with Lucrezia Borgia.

Paintings

Cain and Abel

"Cain and Abel" is a painting by Titian drawn around 1570. It depicts the biblical scene of the murder of Abel by his brother Cain.

Tarquin and Lucrezia

"Tarquin and Lucrezia", better known as "Rape of Lucretia", is a painting by Titian drawn between 1568 and 1571. The painting draws on the story described in both Ovid's Fasti and Livy's history of Rome. In 509 BC, Sextus Tarquinius, son of Tarquin, the king of Rome, raped Lucretia (Lucrece), wife of Collatinus, one of the king's aristocratic retainers. As a result, Lucrece committed suicide.
