That’s true. :’) The Borgias were a different family — although there was also at least one Medici Pope.

And at least one Saint -- St. Francis Borgia. I'm not exactly sure where he falls in the family tree, but he is part of it. He gave a way his fortune and became a priest and scholar and managed one of the Orders -- Jesuit, I think. I'll have to look it up.
