Inocencio VIII
Pope Innocent VIII, born Giovanni Battista Cibo in 1432, served as the head of the Roman Catholic Church from 1484 until his death in 1492. His papacy was marked by the complexities of the Italian Renaissance and the political intrigues of the time. He is notably remembered for his efforts to consolidate papal power and his controversial decision to grant the title of 'King of the Romans' to the Holy Roman Emperor. Innocent VIII is also known for receiving the 'Lance of Longinus' as a gift from Sultan Bayezid II, symbolizing the diplomatic relations between the Papacy and the Ottoman Empire.
