The Borgias: The Most Corrupt Vatican Election Ever?

FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/AgAuzNYsrFE

The Borgias: a name synonymous with scandal, power, and ambition. In this insightful episode, we take a deep dive into what many historians call the most corrupt Vatican election ever. Rodrigo Borgia, later Pope Alexander VI, manipulated his way to the papacy in 1492 through bribes, alliances, and sheer cunning. But how did this Spanish outsider rise to control the Catholic Church and reshape Renaissance Italy? And what role did his infamous family play in one of history's most shocking chapters?

Through a critical examination of the political intrigue, family ambition, and the church’s immense influence at the time, we uncover the truth behind Rodrigo's rise, Cesare's ruthless conquests, and Lucrezia's controversial legacy. This unique perspective challenges mainstream narratives and invites you to explore how power and corruption intertwined at the heart of the Renaissance. Was Alexander VI simply a devoted father, or was he orchestrating a dynasty to rival kings?

Join the conversation as we unravel the schemes, betrayals, and legacies that still echo today.
