The Borgias
 

Anyone watched this yet? It's a new show from Showtime which airs Dexter, Weeds and Californication. I've just watched the first episode and I enjoyed it. It's about the Borgia family from Rome in the 1400 or 1500 hundreds when Rodrigo Borgia becomes Pope Alexander VI. Should check it out, it could become an excellent series.

and they were also to blame for celibacy for priests as they tried to pass the wealth around them.

Also you get to kill loads of them in Assassins creed brotherhood

Interesting time historically will watch now I know it exists :)
