The Lady Maverick in E3 or Lucrezia Borgia in S3
she’s got too much power in this dress fr
Do you need anything from me?
"I do."
Lucrezia gives Il Lupo a cunning smile, she beckons for him to sit down.
"I hope you will keep this between us and I will triple your pay."
Lucrezia had more of a hand in Templar politics, even sitting in on meetings with her family & the inner circle of the Templar Order much to the chagrin of some of the men present, who thought Lucrezia earned her spot there on the principal of being Rodrigo's daughter.
LUCREZIA BORGIA THE BORGIAS (2011-2013)
Frank Cadogan Cowper - Lucrezia Borgia Reigns in the Vatican in the Absence of Pope Alexander VI (1908-14)
This is a re-creation of an obscure and scandalous incident from the history of the Popes. In 1501 the illegitimate daughter of Pope Alexander VI, Lucrezia Borgia, took his place at a meeting. Frank Cowper has invented this suggestive moment in which two noblemen part Lucrezia’s dress so that a Francisan friar can kiss her shoe.The room in the Vatican in which Lucrezia Borgia appeared still exists. It was decorated by the Italian Renaissance artist Pinturrichio. Cowper went there to copy it and painted the faces of the Cardinals from their original portraits. (source)
Do you have a favorite actress who's played Lucrezia?
Maria Valverde would be the most accurate in terms of background but Holliday Grainger has the most period-accurate costumes for Lucrezia. But finding icons for the film Maria Valverde was in is hard.

a lady of rank must be properly attired in the following: a gown of velvet or silk, jewels and pearls, a sufficiently ridiculous cap, a dagger hidden beneath your petticoats, a hollow ring filled with poison, and a treasonous letter you are delivering to a fellow conspirator.
“[…]And when Costabili spoke of Lucrezia’s nuptial activities “the Pope began to laugh and to talk with the Lord Duke (Cesare). When letters at last arrived there was a great to-do. Alexander VI summoned Costabili and told him that he had had disagreeable news from Ferrara; it appeared Lucrezia had no money to spend and had even been obliged to pawn her jewellery so as to buy presents for her Spanish friends on their departure. What had the ambassador to say to that? Costabili waxed eloquent and explained how everybody loved the Duchess very much in her new family. […]It may well be that Valentinois had mentioned the subject of Lucrezia’s allowance to Alfonso on one of his visits to Ferrara, but Ercole still held out.” Maria Bellonci, The Life and Times of Lucrezia Borgia

I NEVER KNEW DAYLIGHT COULD BE SO VIOLENT ; a revelation in the light of day , you can’t choose what stays and what fades away.
[…]During this short interview he was greatly impressed by his wife. Lucretia in those two hours had certainly brought Alfonso under the spell of her personality, even if she had not completely disarmed him.
Lucretia Borgia according to original documents and correspondence of her day, Ferdinand Gregorovius. (via ducavalentinos)
