order of See also:Jesuits, was See also:born at Gandia (See also:Valencia) on the loth of See also:October 1510, and from boy-See also:hood was remarkable for his piety. Educated from his twelfth See also:year at See also:Saragossa under the See also:charge of his See also:uncle the See also:archbishop, he had begun to show a strong inclination towards the monastic See also:life, when his See also:father sent him in 1528 to the See also:court of See also:Charles V. Here he distinguished himself, and on his See also:marriage with Eleanor de See also:Castro, a Portuguese See also:lady of high See also:rank, he was created See also:marquis of Lombay, and was appointed See also:master of the See also:horse to the empress. He accompanied Charles on his See also:African expedition in 1535, and also into See also:Provence in 1536; and on the See also:death of the empress in 1539 he was deputed to See also:convoy the See also:body to the See also:burial-See also:place in See also:Granada. This sad See also:duty confirmed his determination to leave the court, and also, should he survive his See also:consort, to embrace the monastic life. On his return to See also:Toledo, however, new honours were thrust upon him, much against his will; he was made See also:viceroy of See also:Catalonia and See also:commander of the order of St See also:- JAMES

James. At See also:Barcelona, the seat of his See also:government, he lived a life of See also:great austerity, but discharged his See also:official duties with See also:energy and efficiency until 1543, when, having succeeded hisfather in the dukedom, he at length obtained permission to resign his viceroyalty and to retire to a more congenial mode of life at Gandia. Having already held some See also:correspondence with See also:Ignatius See also:Loyola, he now powerfully encouraged the recently founded order of Jesus. One of his first cares at Gandia was to build a Jesuit See also:college; and on the death of Eleanor in 1546, he resolved to become himself a member of the society. The difficulties arising from See also:political and See also:family circumstances were removed by a papal See also:dispensation, which allowed him, in the interests of his See also:young See also:children, to retain his dignities and worldly possessions for four years after taking the vows. In 1550 he visited See also:Rome, where he was received with every See also:mark of distinction, and where he furnished the means for See also:building the Collegium Romanum. Returning to See also:Spain in the following year, he formally resigned his rank and See also:estate in favour of his eldest son, assumed the Jesuit See also:habit, was ordained See also:priest, and entered upon a life of See also:penance and See also:prayer.
At his own See also:earnest See also:request, seconded by Loyola, a proposal that he should be created a See also:cardinal by See also:Julius III. was departed from; and at the command of his See also:superior he employed himself in the See also:work of itinerant See also:preaching. In 1554 he was appointed See also:commissary-general of the order in Spain, See also:Portugal and the Indies, in which capacity he showed great activity, and was successful in See also:founding many new and thriving colleges. In 1556, shortly after Charles V. retired, Borgia had an interview with him, but would not yield to his inducements to See also:transfer his See also:allegiance to the older order of See also:Hieronymites.

time afterwards Borgia was employed by Charles to conduct negotiations with reference to a project which was to secure for See also:Don See also:Carlos of Spain the Portuguese See also:succession in the event of the death of his See also:cousin Don See also:Sebastian. On the death of Lainez in 1565, Francis Borgia was chosen to succeed him as third general of the Jesuits. In this capacity he showed great zeal and administrative skill; and so great was the progress of the society under his government that he has sometimes been called " its second founder." The peculiarities which are most characteristic of the order were, however, derived from Loyola and Lainez, rather than from Borgia, whose ideal was a See also:simple See also:monasticism rather than a life of manifold and influential contact with the See also:world. He died at Rome on the 3oth of See also:September 1572. He was beatified by See also:Urban VIII. in 1624, and canonized by See also:Clement
X. in 1671, his festival being afterwards (1683) fixed by See also:Innocent
XI. for the loth of October.
Several See also:works by St Francis Borgia have been published, the See also:principal of these being a See also:series of Exercises similar to the Exercitia Spiritualia of Loyola, and a See also:treatise Rhetorica Concionandi. The See also:Opera Omnia were published at See also:Brussels in 1675. His life was written by his See also:confessor Pedro de See also:Ribadeneira. See also A.
