About this episode
In the next chapter of Spanish Loops, we explore the Spanish Popes and the powerful influence of the infamous Borgia family.
Among the most notorious, Rodrigo Borgia, who became Pope Alexander VI, played a pivotal role in shaping both papal and Spanish history.
His reign aligned with the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, during a time of monumental change, including the Reconquista and the discovery of the New World.
The Borgia family’s power, ambition, and corruption left a lasting mark on both the Catholic Church and European politics, shaping events that still resonate in history today.
