THE BORGIAS (2011 2013) created by Neil Jordan

"Lucrezia knew she was painfully jealous of Sancia of Aragon, Jofré’s spirited young wife, who at the time was sharing her favors with Juan, who himself was excessively fond of his sister. The gossips declared that Sancia’s arrival had made Lucrezia jealous. “The Countess of Pesaro is anything but pleased,” they said, implying that she feared competition." (x)

"The truth is, we haven't really changed all that much at all. We've got rid of them speaking in old dialects and old languages, but the truth is we haven't learned anything from the past. We're still brutishly invading other countries, we're still having gender bias, and we're still thuggishly burning down the villages of people we don't like. We haven't changed. So in terms of trying to make it accessible to a modern audience, I think there are enough parallel themes that are there. I think the truth is what we're trying to do is hopefully make people go, "Hahaha, we should really try to change that."
