Rodrigo Borgia became Alexander VI, by buying off all other candidates for the job.

They were of Italian and Spanish origin. They produced two popes during this period, Alfons de Borja who ruled as Pope Calixtus III during 1455-1458, and Rodrigo Lanzol Borgia, as Pope Alexander VI, during 1492-1503. They have been accused of many different crimes, including adultery, simony, theft, rape, bribery, incest, and murder (especially murder by arsenic poisoning).
