Pius III

Pius III, born Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (29 May 1439 – 18 October 1503), was the Pope that succeeded Alexander VI, after the latter's death by the hands of his son.

Pius III was sixty-four when he was elected to the Papacy, and he was known for his poor health. During his Papacy, he served neither the Assassins nor the Templars, but he did start the moral reformation of the church to undo some of his predecessor's damage. He only reigned for twenty-six days before he died, after which Julius II succeeded him.
