Alexander VI |

 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Engraving of Pope Alexander VI. A member of the powerful Borgia family, his pontificate was overshadowed by his personal worldliness and corruption. The period saw the opening up of the Americas and in 1493, he issued the Bull of Demarcation, dividing the conquests of the New World between Spain and Portugal. | ||||||
