CSCH 1090 SAINTS AND SINNERS
The exploits of the Renaissance Papacy from the late 14th to mid 16th centuries have inspired movies (Irving Stone, The Agony and the Ecstasy), television (Showtime, The Borgias), and video games (Assassin's Creed II). But sometimes, fact is even more unbelievable than fiction. This class will explore the true and often, scandalous history of this period, when Popes ruled like Kings, engaged in warfare and diplomacy and were party to murderous conspiracies.
