	Pope Alexander VI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander, overwhelmed with grief, shut himself up in Castel Sant'Angelo, and then declared that the reform of the Church would be the sole object of his life henceforth--a resolution that he did not keep.
		The story of Alexander's relations with Savonarola is told in that article; it is enough to say here that the pope's hostility was due to the friar's outspoken invectives against papal corruption and to his appeals for a General Council.
		Alexander hoped that Louis's help would be more profitable to his house than that of Charles had been and, in spite of the remonstrances of Spain and of the Sforza, he allied himself with France in January 1499 and was joined by Venice.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Alexander VI
		The wedding was celebrated in the Vatican in the presence of the Pope, ten cardinals, and the chief nobles of Rome with their ladies, the revelries of the occasion, even when exaggerations and rumours are dismissed, remain a blot upon the character of Alexander.
		Alexander cannot be held responsible for the second "barbarian" invasion of Italy, but he was quick to take advantage of it for the consolidation of his temporal power and the aggrandizement of his family.
		On 27 June of that year the Pope deposed his chief vassal, Federigo of Naples, on the plea of an alleged alliance with the Turks to the detriment of Christendom, and approved the secret Treaty of Granada, by the terms of which the Kingdom of Naples was partitioned between Spain and France.

	Biography – Pope Alexander VIII – The Papal Library
		Alexander VIII was born at Venice, April 22, 1610, of Mark Ottoboni, a patrician and chancellor of Venice, and of Victoria Tornielli, a lady not inferior in rank.
		Owing his elevation to Cardinal Chigi, nephew of Pope Alexander VII, and wishing to revive the memory of Alexander III, dear to the Venetians, Cardinal Ottoboni assumed the name of Alexander VIII.
		His advanced age had not exhausted the vigor of Alexander; all knew his rare prudence, his perspicacity, profound knowledge of affairs, and a great pontificate was promised; but nepotism came in to dissipate some of the high hopes conceived.

	Johnson, "The Life of Pope"
		Pope was the greatest enemy the government had; and another bought his image in clay to execute him in effigy, with which sad sort of satisfaction the gentlemen were a little comforted.
		The filial piety of Pope was in the highest degree amiable and exemplary; his parents had the happiness of living till he was at the summit of poetical reputation, till he was at ease in his fortune, and without a rival in his fame, and found no diminution of his respect or tenderness.
		Pope seems to have known their imbecillity, and therefore suppressed them while he was yet contending to rise in reputation, but ventured them when he thought their deficiencies more likely to be imputed to Donne than to himself.
