The Tigress of Forli: Renaissance Italy's Most Courageous and Notorious Countess
Very good and clean copy from the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). A strategist to match Machiavelli; a warrior who stood toe to toe with the Borgias; a wife whose three marriages would end in bloodshed and heartbreak; and a mother determined to maintain her familys honor, Caterina Riario Sforza de Medici was a true Renaissance celebrity, beloved and vilified in equal measure. In this dazzling biography, Elizabeth Lev illuminates her extraordinary life and accomplishments. Raised in the court of Milan and wed at age ten to the popes corrupt nephew, Caterina was ensnared in Italys political intrigues early in life. After turbulent years in Romes papal court, she moved to the Romagnol province of Forlì.
