Renaissance Quarterly
 53, no. 3 (2000), 686–712. In her biography of Sforza, Elizabeth Lev also examines this incident: “Caterina was roundly condemned by most of Renaissance society, even by the notoriously immoral Machiavellis, for gambling with the lives of her children. She never deigned to reveal the reasoning that informed her actions on that day, but by calling the Orsis’ bluff, Caterina succeeded in saving her children. Furthermore, her lifetime of concern and sacrifice for all her offspring is mute testimony to the fact that she was a loving mother whose best option in this instance was to outfox her enemies.”
