I still can't get over the fact he made her consummate her marriage in front of others  |
It was horrible, but actually it was pretty much normal at the time to consume the marriage in front of witnesses. Otherwise the marriage could be annulled for non-consumption. We see Lucrezia losing her virginity with Sforza in front of her dad in the Spanish movie Borgia, but it was much more 'decent' than with Alfonso in TB...
In the Spanish version they are under a sheet and she doesn't have a public orgasm.
