What d you mean by "canon"? Is this canon to the show or canon to history?

Either way, this ship is why I've been eyeing the show in Netflix. You know, 'cause I wanted to know how you write that while making it believable and interesting without just being appalling.

Canon to history, probably not. It was a rumor about a family everyone loved to hate.

Canon to the show, apparently -- I've only seen some of the first season, and thus far they're close but there's nothing inappropriate.

In the context of the show I don't think it would be very hard, because it is a back-stab-happy society in which they are not allowed to trust anyone outside the family. Any outside relationships are bargaining points and can be revoked at any time. Don't start liking someone, because they might try to kill you tomorrow, or you might have to kill them.

Terrific point. I'm more curious now, because, honestly, in a world like that, it makes sense to make your brother your lover.

The whole mess started after Lucretia's divorce from her first husband: while she was waiting for the annulment, she gave birth to a baby boy. (Incidentally, two of her servants, a man and a woman, where found dead in the Tiber shortly afterwards. There's some speculation the man might have been the baby daddy)

Remember, having an illegitimate child was not a huge deal if you were a man, but if you were a woman you'd be completely ruined.

The pope needed Lucretia to strenghten other alliances through marriages, so at first he claimed the boy was his son. Then it was "revealed" that the boy was actually Cesare's son.

Their enemies probably knew that Lucretia was the boy's mother, so they cheerfully used Cesare's "confession" to invent the whole incestuous relationship thing.
