Back to blog. Gioffre Borgia Posted on 6th January Gioffre had been acknowledged by Alexander VI as his son, however there is speculation as to whether Alexander truly believed this.

He did not have a good relationship with Gioffre, thinking him inadequate and weak, but he could still be used in marriage to promote the Borgia cause. Like his siblings before him, Gioffre was married for political reasons at the age of twelve to the sixteen-year-old Sancha of Aragon, daughter of Alfonso II of Naples. Alfonso paid well for the legitimacy of his rule with both the Principality of Squillace and the Duchy of Alvito, however his rule did not last long.

When alliance with Naples was no longer needed, Sancha was no longer needed and she became a political embarrassment. She was never to live with Gioffre again and the marriage did not produce any children. Sancha died in ; following her death, Ferdinand II of Aragon, took ownership of the estates at Alvito, but Gioffre managed to keep Squillace for himself.

Gioffre married a second time to Maria de Mila of Aragon. This marriage produced four children, a son Francesco Borgia de Mila, and three daughters Lucrezia, Antonia and Maria. Tagged as: Junior Middle Ages.
