Samantha Morris (Sam) is a historian and author who joined The Ones Who Came Before's Writing Team in September 2026.

Sam has always been interested in Renaissance history: the corruption, the art, the religion, the Borgia family, an interest which was fuelled even further by the Assassin's Creed series.

It was whilst studying archaeology at the University of Winchester where her interest in the history of the Italian Renaissance began. She is the author of 'Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia: Brother and Sister of History's Most Vilified Family' and 'The Pope's Greatest Adversary: Girolamo Savonarola'.

We can't wait to see Sam's historical articles, coming soon to the website!
