Summary of The Borgias Season 3 DVD Box Set

 Pope Alexander fights for his life after being poisoned from last season, the Cardinals plot at his deathbed. Cesare and Micheletto trace the assassination plot back to its source, but Della Rovere is ready to make his move. Catherina Sforza has dispatched her own personal assassin Rufio to dethrone the Borgia family. However, thanks to Lucrezia’s quick thinking, she saves her father. Now fully recovered, Alexander tasks Cardinal Sforza with instigating an “inquisition” among the Cardinals who were plotting against him whilst dying. With the “evidence” he needs, Alexander dismisses and banishes all the Cardinals he does not trust. But Cardinal Orsini does not leave quietly, forcing blood to spill. Catherina Sforza orders Rufio to seek support from the mercenary warlords of the Romagna families – Orsini, Vitelli and Colonna. Lucrezia is annoyed that her future in-laws will not welcome her son, Giovanni, at court and also rejection from Alfonso because he refuses to have sex before marriage. This makes her realize how much she loves and relies on Cesare.
