The Borgias Trivia:

The original plan was for the first season of The Borgias to have ten episodes but Neil Jordan, the excecutive producer has stated that production money ran out so they had to reduce the number to nine.

Apparently, the real-life Borgia's name was hard to figure out how to spell because they were also known as the Borjas, Borges and Borjias. They were of Spanish and Italian heritage.

The Borgia family actually produced two Popes. Alfons de Borja ruled from 1455-1458 as Pope Calixtus III and Rodrigo Lanzol Borgia ruled from 1492-1503 as Pope Alexander VI.

The Borgia family is most remembered due to the evil rule of Pope Alexander. He didn't exactly believe in loving his fellow man. His administration is known for numerous crimes including bribery, theft, rape and even many murders by arsenic poisoning.
