摘要：The Borgia family obtained the maestrazgo (mastership) of the Order of Montesa in 1545. This meant yet another failure in the Crown's attempt to incorporate the Valencian military order, as it had done previously with its Castilian counterparts. The players at this table included some very famous figures: Charles V, then in the Netherlands; the regent Prince Philip; Pope Paul III —Alessandro Farnese— who had always strained relations with Charles and Philip; Francisco de los Cobos; the Duke of Calabria, Viceroy of the Kingdom of Valencia and the second husband of the former Queen Germana de Foix; Pedro de la Gasca, then royal inspector of the Kingdom and later president of the Audiencia (Appeals Court) of Lima; and the fourth Duke of Gandia, Francisco, later both a Jesuit and a saint, who also enlisted the help of his wife and his mother. The Borgias won. An extensive collection of documents, particularly correspondence, makes it possible to reconstruct an episode that illustrates well not only the difficulties of constructing new political structures in the early modern period, but also the uncertain demarcation of power between the monarchy and the nobility.
