Giovanni Borgia was born around 1476, the second child of Pope Alexander VI and Vannozza dei Cattanei. He had three siblings: Cesare, Gioffre, and Lucrezia. His father lavished him with titles and position - he became the 2nd Duke of Gandía - and openly preferred him above the rest. On the night of 14 June 1497, Giovanni was murdered in Rome. His body was found in the Tiber, stabbed multiple times with his throat cut. No one was ever charged. Speculation pointed everywhere - rival families, his brother Cesare, political enemies - but the truth died with him.
