For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Pope Alexander VI. He was, how shall I put this?, something of a character. Nephew of the feeble Pope Callixtus III, father of several illegitimate children including the chilling Cesare and lascivious Lucrezia, on whom he lavished great patronage and monies, he washugely wealthy and utterly corrupt, a muderer, conspirator and crook, he dragged the Papal States through devastating wars and... was a great patron of the arts. Not one of the Catholic Church's happiest episodes.
