Few lamented her fate.

When the news reached Milan that she was in the duke's power, and consequently also in that of Pope Alexander, the celebrated General Giangiacomo Trivulzio made a jesting remark which clearly shows how little her fate grieved the people.

According to the stories of the day, Caesar led her to Rome in golden chains, like another Queen of Palmyra.

He entered the city in triumph, February 26th, and the Pope assigned the Belvedere to the captive for her abode.
The city was filled at that time with the faithful, who had come to receive absolution for their sins, this the jubilee year,--and from a Borgia.

Among the number was Elisabetta Gonzaga, consort of Guidobaldo of Urbino.
