The title was re-established in 1483 by Ferdinand II of Aragon as a favour to Rodrigo Cardinal Borgia for his son Pier Luigi Borgia.[2] The dukedom then went to Pier Luigi's half-brother Giovanni Borgia. He was assassinated, and his young son inherited the title. The fourth duke was the religious figure Francesco Borgia. After the death of his wife, with whom he had a large family, he became a Jesuit.
