I first learned of Caterina Sforza Di Medici from the game Assassin's Creed II, where Caterina appeared as a sultry woman-of-mystery, that the game's lead character encounters in Forli. Caterina had an even larger role in the f ollow-up game (Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. This powerful woman was a favorite of mine. So, when I saw that a history book had been written about the real Tigress of Forli, I had to read it. I feared a dry history text, but the book didn't disappoint. It was lively and filled with details that brought Caterina alive, despite the fact that the author could only work with letters and historians of the time. Unlike a historical romance where you can invent details, this author actually had to find out what Caterina wore, what she wrote (to see what she was thinking), and what she reportedly did. Caterina made some powerful enemies, including Macchiavelli, so the historian had to sort through accounts both good and bad, and some that might have been slander.Beginning from her early years in Milan, to giddy days of parties and power in Rome, to her exile in Forli and the battles she fought to protect her family, the book is just nonstop excitement. Caterina has multiple husbands and many children, and experiences both tragedies and bouts of good fortune. She shows the spirit of the Sforza clan in her every action, but particularly when she is protecting her lands, her people, and her family. The book paints her as a flawed hero, someone who made mis-steps and mistakes, but overall, is someone to admire.
This is a story that holds the interest. The political schemes, wars, and assassinations of that era are covered in detail, often with the horror and suspense which medieval cruelty and duplicity invite. As a writer of talent, this author brings the characters to life with an abundance of details which one cannot find elsewhere. Moreover, her use of adjectives is masterful, so precise and evocative that I cannot refrain from complimenting the author on their use.This biographer has chosen a historical episode and a leading character of great interest. Caterina of Forli was certainly courageous and resourceful during the multitudinous and perilous changes of fortune which characterized the Italy of that time. She also proved as devious and unsparing as any of the male rulers, faced as she was by the many enemies of her family. Following the assassination of her beloved second husband, for instance, she destroyed the conspirators and even their families with great cruelty.She will be remembered forever, however, for her defiance of the Borgia pope and his ruthless son Cesare. The author triumphs in telling the story of the assault on the fortress at Forli and the capture of a woman unbowed by the fortunes of war. By contrast, the indifference of her elder sons to her imprisonment and suffering, their cupidity, their ambition for higher positions in the Church while making no effort to help her are both shocking and disgusting.You will not find a more complete recounting of these tragic events than in this history of a valiant woman fighting against all the hardships of medieval Italy. After her capture by the terrible Cesare Borgia, I had to pause often before continuing with this record of the indignities and suffering inflicted on this woman.I recommend this biography to anyone seeking history related in an interesting way.This biographer, moreover, provides an extra benefit by adding to the book a brief account of the career and death of Caterina's youngest son, the great warrior Giovanni dalle Bande Nere.
I have always loved and been fascinated by powerful women, both in history and in fiction. I'm especially fascinated by these sorts of women who lived in eras where their lives were highly circumscribed. As the saying goes "well behaved women seldom make history". It's a shame because history is filled with great women of strength, resilience and resourcefulness and their names need to be better known.To be honest, I actually came across the amazing and wily Catarina Sforza while watching Showtime's 'The Borgias' (my guilty Jeremy Irons pleasure). As I watched this powerful reddish-gold haired virago lift her skirts and taunt the army of Cesare Borgia by pointing at her genitals and telling him that she could make more sons (a story that was highly embellished by Machiavelli who was NOT a fan of hers), I thought, this woman's real story has GOT to be pretty darn interesting and fact actually pales in comparison to fiction. She was, even to her detractors, a remarkable woman who literally went toe to toe with the incredibly dangerous Borgia clan alone.Catarina Riario Sforza de Medici was in short, one hell of a woman. Elegant, cultured, literate, a fighter, a huntress, a tactician, a healer, a mother and a very beautiful and forceful woman. She often stood alone, fighting for her family's legacy and her right to exist in a Renaissance Italy which alliances shifted on the winds and death was a mere heartbeat away. She could also be very stubborn and make serious errors in judgment. Be that as it may, Catarina took control of her life in ways that were quite rare for that time period. Far from perfect, she was a woman determined to be in charge of her destiny.
