Lucrezia Borgia was born on 18 April 1480 at Subiaco, near Rome. Her mother was Vannozza dei Cattanei, one of the mistresses of Lucrezia's father, Cardinal Rodrigo de Borgia .
.
.
. “She [Lucrezia Borgia] was a woman of her time, well educated in humanist literature, speaking Italian, Catalan, French and Latin and capable of writing poetry in those languages; she also had an understanding of Greek. She had been taught eloquence and could express herself elegantly in public speech. She loved music and poetry both Spanish and Italian, owning volumes of Spanish canzones of Dante and Petrarch. Like upper-class women – and men – of her time she learned to dance with skill and grace, an important part of courtly pastimes”. – Sarah Bradford ("Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love, and Death in Renaissance Italy") .
. .
She reigned as the Governor of Spoleto, a position usually held by cardinals, in her own right.
She was married with Giovanni Sforza, this marriage eneded childless and therefore with a divorce ; Alfonso D'Aragona who was later murdered more likely by Cesare .
After the death of Lucrezia's second husband, her father, Pope Alexander VI, arranged a third marriage. She then married Alfonso I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, in early 1502 in Ferrara. She had eight children during this marriage and was considered a respectable and accomplished Renaissance duchess, effectively rising above her previous reputation and surviving the fall of the Borgias following her father's death.

" “The beauty and chastity of this lady are indeed so great that neither Lucretia nor Diana herself were either more beautiful or more chaste. So great is her virtue and her character so fine, that she certainly seems to have been preserved by divine will” -[on Elizabeth of York, from Henry VII’s official correspondence to the Pope Innocent VIII ]
.
.
"She was moderate of stature, well made and very wise. Her portraits show a poised, elegant, blonde woman with the shaven forehead fashionable at that time, a slender figure and facial features that would be considered striking in any age. Elizabeth of York was to inherit her mother's looks."
[ -- Alison Weir - Elizabeth of York: A Tudor Queen and Her World ]

"You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
You can count on me to misbehave
Primadonna girl"
