Roderic Borja

Roderic Borja, known as Rodrigo Borgia, was a Spanish cardinal, politician, and later Pope Alexander VI, who played a significant role during the Renaissance in Italy. His tenure as pope from 1492 to 1503 was marked by political maneuvering, corruption, and the infamous Borgia family's rise to power. A member of a powerful Valencian family, Borja's influence extended beyond the papacy, as he engaged in various political alliances and conflicts during a tumultuous period in European history.
