Wine is sloshing around in your chalice, the bard is singing in the square, and the artist is painting his newest commissioned work by the powerful Borgia family. And all of the above is surrounded by a lifestyle of poisoning one's enemies to reach the top, but are the Borgias really as notorious for poisoning as the world wants us to think?
