ALEXANDER VI
1431 - 1503

Ruthless Alex started out as Rodrigo de Borja y Doms, as he was Spanish. His uncle, Pope Calixtus III, made Rodrigo a cardinal.

Rodrigo was Pope Alexander VI from 1492 - 1503. He lived in style and had several children, as popes do.

In 1493, Alexander VI had the nerve to divide the New World between Spain and Portugal.

In 1494, Spain and Portugal met, made some amendments to Alexander's papal decision and called the outcome Treaty of Tordesillas.
