Alexander VI, also known as Rodrigo Borgia, was a controversial pope who served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1492 to 1503. During his reign, he was known for his political agenda and scandals, which earned him many synonyms such as the "Borgia Pope" and the "Lustful Pope". Alexander VI was also referred to as the "Pope of Corruption" and the "Prince of Debauchery" due to his willingness to abuse his power for personal gain. He was often criticized for his nepotism, as he appointed family members to high positions within the church. Despite his notorious reputation, Alexander VI made significant contributions to the artistic and architectural development of Rome.
