Sobre IBD

In In the Pillory: The Tale of the Borgia Pope, John Bond revisits the controversial papacy of Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), one of the most notorious figures of the Renaissance Church. With meticulous research and a critical eye, Bond situates Alexander within the complex political and cultural networks of late fifteenth-century Italy, exploring how ambition, family alliances, and ecclesiastical corruption shaped his reign. Far from a simple tale of vice, this study places the Borgia pope in the 'pillory' of history, weighing contemporary accusations against archival evidence and recent scholarship. The result is a nuanced portrait of a pontiff whose legacy oscillates between scandal and statecraft, revealing broader insights into the entanglement of religion, power, and spectacle at the dawn of modern Europe.
