Francisco Lloris y de Borja


Francisco Galcerán de Lloris y de Borja (1470–July 22, 1506), Catalan: Francisc de Lloris i de Borja Italian: Francesco Borgia (also known as Hiloris, Loris, Loritz, Willoritz), was an unconsecrated cardinal of the Catholic Church, and a member of the Borgia family.

He was born in Valencia in 1470. He was a grand-nephew of Pope Alexander VI, and nephew of Cardinal Juan de Borja Lanzol de Romaní, el mayor. His father was Pedro Jofre de Lloris, donzell (Caballero) of Valencia. His mother was Isabel de Borja y Navarro de Alpicat, sister of Juan de Borja Lanzol; she was also related to Pope Calixtus III.

Francisco served successively as Chamberlain, Prosecretary and Treasurer to Cardinal Rodrigo de Borja, the future Pope Alexander VI, and later the Treasurer-General of the Apostolic Camera. All his later ecclesiastical titles and benefices appear to have been for his own personal gain; he never took holy orders.

He was elected Bishop of Terni, March 19, 1498. He resigned the see just over a year later (April 17, 1499), in order to get the see of Elne, left vacant by the death of Cesare Borgia. He was transferred to that see on September 6, 1499, occupying it until his death. In November 1499 he was created Provost of Hildesheim.

He was named bishop in commendam (Administrator) of Valence et Die shortly after January 3, 1503; he occupied the see until February 13, 1505, the date of the appointment of Bishop Caspar de Tournon.Pope Alexander VI elevated him as Cardinal deacon in the consistory of May 31, 1503; he was published on June 2, 1503, receiving the title Deacon of Santa Sabina pro illa vice June 12, 1503.
