Summary
Alexander VI, pope after Innocent VIII, in the reign of Bayezid II 1.
Cem's death and the league
Al-Salabi relays that Prince Cem passed to Alexander's custody on Innocent's death and was killed soon after — the chronicles, as the book reports rather than asserts, accusing Bayezid II of ridding himself of his brother 1. At Venice's request Alexander VI raised a league of France and Spain against the Ottomans after Lepanto fell 2.
