On October 31, 1501, former Cardinal Cesare Borgia purportedly hosted an orgy in the Vatican with "50 honest prostitutes" in which his own father, Pope Alexander VI, not only attended but participated in.

His name was associated with incest, adultery, bribery, and murder. The pope was also known for selling official positions within the Church and securing power and wealth only for his family, the House of Borgia. #HistoryVille
