Had it really been so long since she slept with her husband that she couldn't fathom that the child was his? I mean, if he hadn't slept with her in a month, it could still be his child. So how much time had really passed since his injury?
Yes, I make spelling mistakes often as a result of using IMDB on mobile devices :)
Injuries like the one Giovanni Sforza endured, and broken bones didn't get to heal that fast back in the day, considering that their main way to fix a broken bone was to straighten the break and strap a wooden plank on said limb. So I gather, if now with modern medicine, a break like that can be fixed with cast within a month, back then it must have taken 2-3 months to render a person movable again. So, chronologically she couldn't have justified the pregnancy that far off. Especially if the baby was in term when he got born. And back then the percentages of death at birth were bigger than now, even with a full term baby, so imagine with a premy. To conclude though, I think that it must have been around 2-3 months into her pregnancy around when Sforza was able to walk around again, because that's around when morning sickness occurs, but it is not yet visible on the body.
