Christopher Hibbert wrote more than fifty acclaimed books, including The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici and Rome: The Biography of a City. A leading popular historian whose works reflect meticulous scholarship, he was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He died in 2008.
In the last book he wrote before he died Hibbert captures quite brilliantly the extravagence and immorality at the heart of the papal empire on the eve of the Reeformation. * Good Book Guide * Hibbert tells a good story. * Times Literary Supplement * A tale of greed, nepotism, assassination and relentless jostling for power. * Sunday Times * Few could have told the story better ... pacy, uncluttered and an eye for resonant detail. Sparkling. * Tribune * ... a coherent and colourful historical record of the Borgias. * Literary Review * Rather more than the story of an extraordinary and vicious family, The House Of Borgia is an engrossing account of a country divided up into a collection of constantly warring states, of alliances made and broken and of almost unimaginable power and wealth there for the taking by those ruthless enough to let nothing stand in the way of their vaulting ambitions. * Daily Express *
