False. Giovanni Borgia, Infantus Romanus, was born in 1498 and soon Giovanni Sforza started rumours that he may be Lucrezia's child with either Pedro Caldron, or her father who wanted Lucrezia for himself and therefore had the marriage annulled (it is worth noting that Sforza wasn't as physically abusive as depicted on the Showtime show... so it was more petty that he repaid the humiliation of the divorce somehow as shown but still may have clung to that marriage and Lucrezia as shown on the Canal+ version). So the rumours of incest were mostly directed towards Rodrigo but later people threw Cesare and Juan also into the mix. Three years later two papal bulls were issued, one said that Giovanni was the child of Cesare with a woman not mentioned in the document, the other did the same just saying that Rodrigo was the father. So that strategy basically leads historians to believe one thing that the first papal bull declaring Cesare the father was false – it was put in place to avoid a scandal. Unlike for the pope it was no big deal for Cesare to have fathered and illegitimate child. The second bull, which is believed by historians to reveal the truth about Giovanni's parentage, was issued so that by Rodrigo claiming him as his son he was have secured Giovanni's rights to his inheritance.

Giulia met her second husband, Giovanni Capece Bozzato, Baron of Afragola for the first time at Jofré's and Sancia's wedding?

True or False?
