Gaspar de Borja y Velasco (26 June 1580[1] – 28 December 1645) was a Spanish cardinal, ecclesiastic and politician. He belonged to the house of Borgia (though he always used the Spanish spelling of Borja) and served as Primate of Spain, Archbishop of Seville, Archbishop of Toledo and viceroy of Naples.[2] He was the great-great-great-great-grandson of Pope Alexander VI.

  1. ^ In reality Gaetano Moroni affirms that his year of birth was 1589. As Moroni adds that he died in 1645 "in the 56th year of his age", his "1589" seems unlikely to be a typographical error (Gaetano Moroni, "Borgia, Gaspare" in Dictionary of Historical and Ecclesiastical Scholarship, 1840. vol. VI, 51-52)
