Borgia(Italian form; Spanish form, Borja), an aristocratic family of Spanish descent (from Aragón), which played a significant role in 15th- and early 16th-century Italian history. The rise of the family began with Alfonso (1378–1458), who became pope under the name of Calistus III (1455–58). His nephew Rodrigo (Pope Alexander VI; 1492–1503) and Rodrigo’s son Cesare (about 1475–1507) attempted, stopping at nothing, to create a big state in central Italy, with Cesare holding absolute power. To this end they arranged marriages for Alexander VI’s daughter Lucrezia (1480–1519) three times for political aims. In 1499, Cesare became the ruler of Romagna. Cesare served as a prototype of the ruler in Machiavelli’s work. After the death of Alexander VI, Cesare’s great plans began to fail, and the Borgia family disappeared from the historical scene.
