Excerpt from St. François de Borgia (1510-1572)
Des Borgia, le plus ignoré est, peut-être, le saint qui a réparé les fautes de ses ancêtres et réhabilité leur nom. De héros de mélodrame ou de roman qu'ils étaient, César, Lucrèce et leur père sont devenus, grâce à d'excellents travaux, des personnages histo riques, que chacun n'est plus libre de noircir ou de blanchir à sa fantaisie. Leur petit neveu et arrière petit-fils, François, n'a pas assez bénéficié de la curiosité apportée, de nos jours, à l'étude de sa famille.'
