Indeed, excellent contribution Druzhina!

Particularly of interest currently as I just finished watching Borgias:Faith & Fear on Netflix and currently reading The Borgias by Marion Johnston. Nice to have some more references to a favourite era of mine, as well as seeing some before-and-after.

Many thanks, Rob.
