Hvem daterte Giulia Farnese?

Giulia Farnese (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒuːlja farˈneːze, -eːse]; 1474 – 23 March 1524) was an Italian noblewoman, a mistress to Pope Alexander VI, and the sister of Pope Paul III. Known as Giulia la Bella (Italian for 'Julia the Beautiful'), she was a member of the noble Farnese family, who were prominent leaders in the Italian regions of Parma and Piacenza. After marrying into the noble Orsini family in the Papal States, Farnese soon acquainted herself with, and initiated an affair with, the Spanish Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia. When the cardinal was elected Pope, Farnese continued the increasingly advantageous liaison, which enabled her to have her brother Alessandro made a cardinal, until losing Alexander's favor at the turn of the century.

Farnese spent most of her later years governing the castle of Carbognano, previously a property which Alexander had given to her husband. She died in 1524 in Rome at the residence belonging to Alessandro, who would later be elected Pope Paul III.

Lorenzo Pucci described her as "most lovely to behold". Cesare Borgia, the son of Alexander VI, described her as having "dark colouring, black eyes, round face and a particular ardor".

Pave Alexander VI (opprinnelig Rodrigo de Borja, italiensk Borgia, født januar 1431 i Játiva i kongedømmet Valencia i Aragóns krone, død 18. august 1503 i Roma) var pave fra 11. august 1492 til sin død. Han har gått inn i historien som en eksponent for hvor dypt pavedømmet sank i de verste krisetidene, og var viktig årsak til at protestantismen oppstod femti år senere. Han var også en typisk renessansefyrste og en kløktig maktpolitiker. Strengt tatt burde han ha blitt kjent som Alexander V, ettersom den andre paven med dette navn var en motpave.

Han var 1467–1472 biskop av Urgell i Catalonia og dermed samfyrste av Andorra.
