More like in an ambush at the siege of Viana. Not sure I'd call that a battle.
Cesare's sword had several Latin engravings, one of them read "aut Caesar aut nihil". True or false? __________________

True, which makes della Rovere a hypocrite for accusing Rodrigo of lechery.
Rodrigo publicly exonerated Gioffre of the murder of his brother, Juan. True or False? __________________

Well, according to wiki though it doesn't give a source... I think I've read it before though, not sure where.
Gioffre's second wife, Maria de Mila, was a lady in waiting to Katherine of Aragon. True or false? __________________

I'll say false? It says they were cousins.
Juan's wife had previously been betrothed to his older half brother. True or False? __________________

They were cousins, but she lived in Spain and that's where they met. So she was indeed a lady in waiting to Katherine of Aragon. (As you know, KoA had to send most of her Spanish entourage home after her wedding to Arthur...)
And yes, that is true Maria Enriquez de Luna was previously engaged to Pedro Luis.  Sancia took care of Lucrezia's son by her brother Alfonso when the latter got married again. True or False? __________________

True? I couldn't find that one.
Vanozza was never recognized as Rodrigo's widow or given a ceremonial funeral. True or False? __________________

Yes, it's true. She took little Rodrigo with her to Naples and raised him.
Hm... I'd say that's true? Mainly because they weren't married and I think the stone from her tomb that they found read "Mother of ... " and listed all her children rather. Rodrigo studied law in Bologna. True or False? __________________

True.
Neil Jordan had originally intended to cast Christian Bale and Scarlett Johansson as Cesare and Lucrezia for a planned cinematic version of The Borgias. True or False? __________________

Alex - I know about Scarlett Johansson but was it really Christian Bale? I thought he wanted Colin Farrell as Cesare, who in all honesty I never liked until his role in "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them". If I'm really honest I'm glad that movie didn't happen because that combination sounds worse than John Doman's performance, bless his heart. (Did you know that the girl from "Teen Wolf" is going to play his daughter on "Gotham" next season? I was actually really excited about the casting tbh.)
Arinna - True. Well, I mean technically her marriage to Giovanni Sforza was annulled, no so does it still count... Neil Jordan wanted to end 'The Borgias' with Rodrigo burning in hell. True or False? __________________

True. Rodrigo was to end up in hell because he died before anyone could take his last confession.
That's correct, Nina. Scarlett Johansson was supposed to be Lucrezia, but Colin Farrell, not Christian Bale, was supposed to be Cesare. That was a trick question. You guessed wrong, Arinna.  The Borgia family influenced Mario Puzo's The Godfather. True or False? __________________

Yeah, I always took issue with this because it was simply not true as is stated in Burchard's diary:
Quote:
During the French Invasion Ascanio Sforza sided with his brother Ludovico and betrayed Rodrigo. True or False? __________________
