This pope had EIGHT KIDS!

🎧 Prefer audio? Listen to THAT'S HISTORY, BABE! here: https://linktr.ee/thatshistorybabe?ut... POV: you’re at the sickest rave of your life. Candles flickering. Incense burning. Gregorians chanting. The place: Vatican City. The year: 1492. The man behind it all: Pope Alexander VI aka Rodrigo Borgia. This week, we return to a place of pope as we tell the story of the most ruthless family in papal history. Hear about the depravity and delusion of the entire Borgia clan in an episode rife with sex and greed, two of Jared’s favorite things. And please PLEASE don’t ask why Abe is wearing sunglasses inside. It’s a private matter. Tangents include Kermit the Frog’s nephew Robin, the show Vikings, Pope Leo blind item, and “Lose Yourself” by Eminem. #popes #catholicchurch #theborgias #papalhistory #romanhistory #rome #badpopes #historypodcast #history #funnyhistory #forgottenhistory #hiddenhistory #funnystory #discover SOURCES The Bad Popes by E.R.
