* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: An in-universe example. After Rodrigo's election as Pope, Della Rovere, his archrival, as Dean of the Sacred College, is responsible for asking him the ritual acceptance questions[[labelnote:quote]]''"Acceptasne electionem de te canonice factam in Summum Pontificem?"'', literally "Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?"[[/labelnote]]. His heavy emphasis on certain syllables when asking the question is no accident[[labelnote:namely...]]''"Acceptasne electionem de te canonice '''fuck'''tam in Summum Pontificem?"''[[/labelnote]].

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: In her essay [[https://www.exurbe.com/the-borgias-vs-borgia-faith-and-fear/ "The Borgias" vs. "Borgia: Faith and Fear"]], author and historian [[Literature/TerraIgnota Ada Palmer]] contrasts ''Borgia'' with the show ''Series/TheBorgias'' while she talks about what she calls "historicity" (what TVTropes might call DeliberateValuesDissonance) vs "historical accuracy" (what TVTropes might call ArtisticLicenseHistory). Historical accuracy pertains to the details, while historicity is about sensibilities. While ''Borgia'' has about as much historical accuracy as you'd expect for a show of this sort, it has ''far'' more historicity than is usually expected.

* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul:
** Although rumours circulated about all kinds of incest among the UsefulNotes/TheBorgias in RealLife, none of these have any credibility, and are mostly made up by a former husband of Lucrezia Borgia. However, in this series, Lucrezia and her brother, Cesare, are quite close to incest several times. One time, after Lucrezia admits to [[spoiler: killing Juan with her lover, Perotto]], Cesare wants to "make the rumours true" about them (of incest), and proceeds to kiss Lucrezia, who agrees, and they ''almost'' have sex, but Lucrezia's lover Perotto discovers them. Lucrezia's other brother, Juan, attempts to rape her once, and claims that he "loves her the most". And then, we have Lucrezia's ''father'' (UsefulNotes/PopeAlexanderVI, AKA Rodrigo Borgia), who has lustful thoughts about his daughter, once going as far as ''masturbating'' to a description of her by her lover. Fortunately, he realizes his sinful thoughts and admits them to Lucrezia who quickly forgives him.
** Della Rovere has several gay lovers in the series (and no female ones), particularly Fransesco. He wasn't gay in real life.

** [[spoiler: Orsino Orsini, the husband of Giulia]], died much later than in the series (1500, to be exact). Until this time Giulia and Orsino were married, which also means that they were married the whole time Giulia was the lover of Rodrigo, as Rodrigo ditched Giulia in 1499/1500.
