Material for a History of Pope Alexander VI: His Relatives and His Time. 2, Roderic De Borgia: From the Cradle to the Throne is an exhaustive biographical and historical investigation into the early life and ascent of one of the most controversial figures in the history of the Catholic Church. In this second volume of his monumental study, Peter De Roo provides a detailed examination of Roderic de Borgia, tracing his journey from his origins in Spain through his rising influence within the ecclesiastical hierarchy, culminating in his elevation to the papacy as Alexander VI.
Drawing on extensive archival research, De Roo seeks to provide a nuanced perspective on the Borgia legacy, challenging many of the long-standing myths and scandals that have historically clouded the reputation of this complex figure. The work explores the intricate political and religious landscape of the 15th-century Renaissance, detailing the nepotism, diplomacy, and power struggles that defined the era. This volume serves as an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in the internal workings of the Vatican, the history of the Italian peninsula, and the multifaceted nature of the Renaissance papacy. Through a meticulous review of contemporary documents, the author provides a comprehensive portrait of a man whose life and family shaped the course of Western history.
