Lucretia Borgia, illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo Borgia (Pope
Alexander VI), marries Giovanni Sforza of Pesano. This marriage was
annulled in 1497 as her father and brothers found that Sforza no
longer gave them the political advantage they sought, marrying
Lucrezia instead to Alfonso of Aragon, Duke of Bisceglie.
