Lucrezia Borgia was born into a notorious family and after three marriages and ten children there accumulated a lot of shocking rumours about her. She was accused of incest, poisoning, and murder. Supposedly, she had a hollow ring for holding poison to slip into the drinks of guests. However, none of this was ever proven, and she probably took too much blame for the crimes of her brother Cesare. In her own time, she was quite popular. "Lucrezia… was personally popular through her beauty and her affability. Her long golden hair, her sweet childish face, her pleasant expression and her graceful ways, seem to have struck all who saw her."
