Saint Francis Borgia had just about everything a man could want in sixteenth-century Spain. He was wealthy, powerful, happily married, and closely connected to the royal family.

Then one encounter with death changed the way he looked at everything.

Francis was born in 1510 into the famous Borgia family. His family included some of the most powerful figures in Renaissance Europe. Francis became a trusted member of the court of Emperor Charles V, married a noblewoman named Eleanor de Castro, and together they had eight children.

By his late twenties, he was already one of the most important noblemen in Spain.
