Knives and Passion: Caterina Sforza 2 | Italian History

Last time we saw Caterina Sforza, she was trapped in a dangerously toxic relationship, one that blurred the line between loyalty and obsession. But personal turmoil is only the beginning, because war has arrived at her doorstep.

Charles VIII of France has marched into Italy with a massive army, determined to claim the throne of Naples. And in the chaotic world of 15th-century Italian politics, this isn’t a simple invasion. It’s a web of shifting alliances, betrayals, and family ties.

With her territories of Imola and Forlì directly in the path of the invasion, Caterina faces an impossible choice: resist the French advance and join the fractured Italian resistance or align with Charles and let his army pass through her lands.
