Season: 1, Episode: 6

Air Date: 2015-12-15

Runtime: 60 min

Naming the worst of the Borgias is a tricky business, so great is the choice. Juan Borgia, however, is right up there at the top of the list; a spoilt, arrogant, debauched, cruel brat with hundreds of enemies who also happened to be the favourite son of Pope Alexander VI - rather better known to history as the infamous despot Rodrigo Borgia. So when Juan showed up dead in 1497, the Pope was beside himself with grief - and surrounded by a whole team of people who had the desire, the motive and the wherewithal to get rid of Juan once and for all. But which one actually did it?

Medieval Murder Mysteries

2015 1 seasons 6 episodes

Overview

The medieval period gave us some of the greatest, most enduring stories in history. Some are of them were real – some are altered into pure Legend. These legends usually had somebody doing villainous deeds. The even greater thing is that most of these were surrounded in mystery or conspiracy. Medieval Murder Mysteries uses modern thinking from historical police criminology combined with forensics and human osteologists blended with current historical ideas to try and solve what really happened all those years ago. Magnificent castles, chivalrous knights, powerful kings and queens? You’ll have them. Also require dark deeds, illicit lovers, greedy nobles, mad cardinals? Look no further. They’re all here.
