Most people consider Cesare Borgia one of history's villans — there are foul rumors that fly around the man's history, dispicable tales of dispicable acts: there is litytle he has not been accused of, in fact. Rafael Sabatini — famed novelist, author of such deservedly renowned classics as Scaramouche_ and Captain Blood_ — had a very sifferent idea of who Cesare Borgia was. Sabatini may be right: Borgia may have been one of history's great men, consigned to villany because his enemies wrote the histories.
