<p style="text-align:center;">The series follows the rise of the Borgia family to the pinnacle of the Roman Catholic Church and their struggles to maintain their grip on power. The beginning of the first season depicts the election of [[Rodrigo Borgia]] to the papacy through simony and bribery with the help of his son, [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]]. The triumph in the papal conclave of Borgia, who becomes Pope Alexander VI, enrages his rivals in the College of Cardinals, some of whom decide to plot against him. With the help of his family, Rodrigo takes on his enemies while striking alliances with other European powers to strengthen his position.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo's great rival, Cardinal [[Giuliano Della Rovere|Della Rovere]], travels across Italy and France to seek allies to depose the pope. He manages to persuade King [[Charles of France]] to assist him in removing Pope Alexander in exchange for supporting the King's claim to the throne of Naples, an ally of the Borgias through marriage. Season one culminates with Charles and his army, accompanied by Della Rovere, marching to Rome and finally coming to a head with the Borgias.</p>

'''Air date:''' June 9, 2013<br>
Devastated by his betrayal by [[Pascal]], [[Micheletto Corella|Micheletto]] kills his lover and subsequently disappears. Devastated by the loss of his loyal lieutenant, [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]] races to Naples to rescue [[Lucrezia Borgia|Lucrezia]], but she has already escaped her captors – with the aid of a sleeping potion. Brother and sister are reunited on the road back to Rome, and are so overjoyed to see one another that [[Alfonso of Aragon|Alfonso]] begins to suspect that their relationship seems more than that of ordinary siblings. Back in Rome, Alfonso becomes sullen and almost abusive, drinking heavily. [[Rodrigo Borgia|Alexander]], meanwhile, has come up with another plan with his friend [[Mattai]]: they scheme to corner the market in Italian sulphur, thus denying anyone else the ability to manufacture gunpowder. Still, Alexander does not trust Cesare, who quickly uncovers his father’s plot, but it is Mattai who persuades father and son to reconcile.

[[File:009 The Prince episode still of Alfonso of Aragon and Lucrezia Borgia 250px.png]]<br>
'''Air date:''' June 16, 2013<br>
[[Rodrigo Borgia|Alexander]] and [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]] are reconciled at last, and the Pope reveals that the Papal Armies have been strengthened and re-equipped with the money saved from the Crusade and the proceeds of the Jubilee. Now, the Borgias are ready to move against their enemies the Sforzas and are ready to take their first step towards their ultimate goal: to carve out a hereditary kingdom across the heart of Italy. Cesare marches his fearsome army to lay siege to [[Catherina Sforza]]’s castle at Forli. Catherina is determined to resist despite the artillery bombardment and the danger of starvation in the bitter winter. [[Micheletto Corella|Micheletto]] reappears from the shadows – his broken heart will not yet let him return to Cesare’s service, but he does advise Cesare of weak spots in Forli’s defences. Back in Rome, Cesare finds that [[Alfonso of Aragon|Alfonso]] has become even more aggressive and Cesare plans to murder him. But circumstances become deadly when a scuffle breas out between Cesare and a drunk Alfonso. The doctor reports that Alfonso will certainly die, slowly and painfully over several days. Devastated, [[Lucrezia Borgia|Lucrezia]] turns to her potions to end his life painlessly with Cesare vowing that now she will be his for good.
