 Giovanni Borgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most famous Giovanni Borgia (March 1498– 1548), the infans Romanus ("child of Rome"), was probably the love-child of Lucrezia Borgia, though Pope Alexander VI issued two papal bulls, both dated September 1, 1501, in each of which a different father is assigned to him, the second appearing to supplement and correct the first.
Giovanni Borgia, 2nd Duke of Borgia (the family's home town, a title created in the Kingdom of Aragon under pressure from Roderigo Borgia, later Pope Alexander VI and Giovanni's father) was the brother of the famous Cesare Borgia.
Alexander, in two bulls excommunicating members of the Savelli and Colonna families and confiscating their properties, was able to name the young Giovanni as heir to the duchy of Nepi, a property important to the Borgia family, and also duke of Palestrina, September 17 1501.

To the Romans especially, who had come to regard Borgia as one of themselves, and who predicted a pontificate at once splendid and energetic, the choice was most acceptable; and they manifested their joy in bonfires, torchlight processions, garlands of flowers, and the erection of triumphal arches with extravagant inscriptions.
Borgia, by a bare two-thirds majority secured by his own vote, was proclaimed Pope on the morning of 11 Aug., 1492, and took the name of Alexander VI.
It was the political use made by the Borgias of their opportunity, and the prospective alliance of France and the Holy See, which now drove several of the Powers of Europe to the verge of schism.
