tree asked:

i have a fairly random borgia-related question for you, since i know you're very fond of lucrezia. do you know anything about laura orsini, who may or may not have been lucrezia's half sister? the most i've found after a(n admittedly) cursory search is on the italian wikipedia, which is pretty much just a summary of who her parents were, who she married, and who her children were. i wondered if you'd come across anything else in your borgia readings.

I replied:

I honestly haven’t come across much at all, beyond debates about whether she was or wasn’t Rodrigo/Alexander’s daughter. She tends to be very much on the periphery of Borgia research.
