Actually I'm not sure either. I think it's more of soft power, like she did with King Charles to save Rome.

A subtle power that can go unnoticed but is very effective

I think Lucrezia is a classic example of "behind every powerful man is an equally powerful woman". She already has influenced the fates of her father and the king of France.

You got that absolutely right. I think that's what Holly meant in the interview Obviously she's not in power to control the Vatican in any way but I think she will have a slight influence on the outcome of the event.

I don't know if she's a natural blonde or not but it looks lovely on her regardless!

Completely agree. She really grew into her own so much this past season, and handled that diplomatic situation superbly.

As were speaking of S2 a bit earlier, I just saw a quick heads-up on an interview with Neil J. in the official Borgia wiki. There is a quote and a link within the post:

Season Two Peek @ Official Borgias Wiki

In 1501, I believe it was, Alexander did leave Lucrezia in charge of the Vatican for a time while he was off on business. Neil J's take on that should be interesting. To say the cardinals on The Borgias will be upset is probably an understatement. The first time I read he did that, I was pretty surprised. It says alot about the confidence he had in her intelligence and capabilities.

I love that he had that much confidence in her but I can imagine the Cardinals weren't happy though

I don't think Cardinal Sforza will be too happy about that

I kinda like Cardinal Sforza. Whenever him and Rodrigo have a scene together, I always find myself something to smile and laugh about

I don't dislike the guy but I just think she'd be better at the job that him. He'd be worried about his own neck and what his family would want whereas someone in that position should be worrying about what the pope would want done

Exactly she would have the Pope and Rome's best interests in mind

Hence why she'd be the best person for the job
