Italy: Pope Alexander VI, born Rodrigo Borgia (1431-1503)

Pope Alexander VI, born Roderic Llançol i de Borja (1 January 1431 - 18 August 1503), was Pope from 11 August 1492 until his death. He is the most controversial of the Renaissance popes, because he broke the priestly vow of celibacy and had several legitimately acknowledged children. Therefore his Italianized Valencian surname, Borgia, became a byword for libertinism and nepotism, which are traditionally considered as characterizing his pontificate. However, two of Alexander's successors, Sixtus V and Urban VIII, described him as one of the most outstanding popes since St. Peter.

Título:
Italy: Pope Alexander VI, born Rodrigo Borgia (1431-1503)
Descripción:
Traducción automática: El papa Alejandro VI, nacido Roderic Llançol i de Borja (1 de enero de 1431 - 18 de agosto de 1503), fue papa desde el 11 de agosto de 1492 hasta su muerte. Es el papa más controvertido del Renacimiento, porque rompió el voto sacerdotal de celibato y tuvo varios hijos legítimamente reconocidos. Por ello, su apellido valenciano italianizado, Borgia, se convirtió en sinónimo de libertinaje y nepotismo, que tradicionalmente se consideran característicos de su pontificado. Sin embargo, dos de los sucesores de Alejandro, Sixto V y Urbano VIII, lo describieron como uno de los papas más destacados desde San Pedro
