Alexander
Before the election of Pope Francis I there were only two popes from Spain,Pope Alexander VI and Pope Callixtus III. Pope Francis is the first pope from Latin America
There were seven popes who led the Church as Alexander. These include: St. Alexander I (105-115) Alexander II (1061-73) Alexander III (1159-81) Alexander IV (1254-61) Alexander VI (1492-1503) Alexander VII (1655-67) Alexander VIII (1689-91) You will no doubt notice that Alexander V is missing from this list, whose inclusion would make it eight. This is because Pietro Philarghi who became Alexander V was elected illegitimately during the Great Western Schism and was found to be an antipope. The fault was not his as confusion was rife at the time. Whether out of respect or confusion, the name Alexander V was skipped in the legitimate line of papal succession and thus there were only seven popes named Alexander.
A:The most famous pope named Alexander was Alexander VI, Rodrigo Borgia. At first glance, he would be among the last popes to be called good, but even the most evil of men can have their good sides. In spite of his many moral failings, Pope Alexander VI was a skilled diplomat, politician, and civil administrator. Two of Alexander's successors, Sixtus V and Urban VIII, described him as one of the most outstanding popes since St. Peter.
