Alexander VI was Pope from 1492 to 1503. He is the most controversial of the secular popes of the Renaissance, and his surname (Italianized as Borgia) became a byword for the debased standards of the papacy of that era.Originally Cardinal Borgia from Spain, Pope Alexander’s claims to fame were taking over much of Italy by force with the help of his son Cesare (yes, his son), a racy relationship with his daughter Lucrezia (some say her son was his), and his affinity for throwing large parties, bordering on orgies, that usually culminated with little naked boys jumping out of large cakes...

Leaders in the RCC are so much more subtle these days.

As I recall, those claims were made by enemies of Pope Alexander and made years after his death as well. Cesare was more likely Pope Alexander’s nephew, not his son. Likewise the claim that he had sex with Lucrezia is belied by the historical evidence.
