The Borgias review – 3×05: ‘The Wolf And The Lamb’

In the latest episode of The Borgias, our anticipation of the worst morning after is confirmed, we get introduced to the beginnings of a Crusade, and we may never eat chestnuts again.

This week’s episode finds Caterina Sforza (Gina McKee) making a ballsy entrance, puts the Pope (Jeremy Irons) in position to collect some French friends to battle the Sforza alliance, and hosts Lucrezia’s wedding/wedding night (though not with the same fellow).
