On June 16, 1491, some changes were made in this contract, which Beneimbene has noted in the same protocol-book.

The contract is in Beneimbene's protocol-book. During the year, when Lucretia, filled with a sister's love, was grieving over the fate of her terrible brother, a great change occurred in her own circumstances, she having become Duchess of Ferrara, January 25, 1505.

However, since the marriage contract between Lucretia and the young Centelles had been legally executed on the twenty-sixth of February of the same year, 1491, and was recognized as late as the following June, there is room for doubt regarding the correctness of the date; but both the instrument in Beneimbene's protocol-book, and an abstract of the same in the archives of the Hospital Sancta Sanctorum in Rome, give the last of April as the date of the marriage contract of Lucretia and Don Gasparo.

He had sinister plans for whose execution the time was soon to prove propitious. Lucidus Cataneus, Rome, August 8, 1498. Gonzaga archives. The briefs are in the state archives of Venice.

Beneimbene records none of his personal experiences, but his protocol-book is still preserved in the archives of the notary of the Capitol. Adriano Castelli of Corneto, a highly cultivated humanist, and privy-secretary to Alexander, who subsequently made him a cardinal, was very close to the Borgias. As the Pope's secretary he must have frequently come in contact with Lucretia.
