What happens
White smoke emerges from the roof of the Sistine Chapel. Amid accusations of simony, the Conclave has elected Rodrigo Borgia, Archbishop of Valencia, to the Throne of Saint Peter. The Borgias are a relatively recent arrival to the theatre of Roman politics, and have gained the ire of the more established Roman families who coveted the position for themselves.\n\nThough many of the rumours surrounding this Borgia Pope are likely to be exaggerations propagated by his enemies, he is known to openly keep a mistress and has already elevated his teenage son Cesare to the rank of Cardinal. Speculation abounds that the reign of this Pope will be fraught with scandal and corruption.
