True.

That was true, Nina. Cesare wrote letters to Lucrezia and saying she was the only woman he'd ever loved, and signed some of them, "your brother, who loves you as himself". She kept his letters in a trunk, taking them everywhere she lived, and they are preserved in Rome. He told many people he'd never cared for any woman except his sister, and this was one reason the incest rumour persisted. As far as his mistresses, Fiametta included, there's no documentation he loved any of them. It was common for men to give their mistresses expensive things like houses, jewels, etc, and the Borgias had free houses and palaces to give away after all the excommunicating and plundering And Cesare did owe Fiametta since she continued giving her "favors" after his syphilis

King Charles V111 of France's invasion of Italy was by invitation of Ludavico Sforza.

True or False?
