Well, just a few considerations regarding the original names of people and places:


Callixtus III, né Alfons de Borja (Alphonso de Borgia in Italian)

(December 31, 1378 – August 6, 1458) was born in Xàtiva, València, Spain (Now is Spain but then it was a kingdom of the Aragon Crown, a totally separated State with different kings). If you write Xàtiva (excel·lent !) in Catalan, you might write València in Catalan too.

He became a cardinal after reconciling Pope Eugenius IV with King Alfons V of Aragon (Alfonso is the Spanish or Castilian name, and Alfons the original Catalan one).


He made two of his nephews cardinals, one of whom, Roderic de Borja(Again, Rodrigo de Borgia is the Italian name) , later became the notably corrupt Pope Alexander VI.

Anyway great!!
