See also:INNOCENT VIII . (Giovanni Battista Cibo), See also:pope from the 29th of See also:August 1484 to the 25th of See also:July 1492, successor of See also:Sixtus IV., was See also:born at See also:Genoa (1432), the son of Arano Cibo, who under See also:Calixtus III. had been a senator of See also:Rome. His youth, spent at the Neapolitan See also:court, was far from blameless, and it is not certain that he was married to the See also:mother of his numerous See also:family. He later took orders, and, through the favour of See also:Cardinal Calandrini, See also:half-See also:brother of See also:Nicholas V., obtained from See also:Paul II. the bishopric of See also:Savona. Sixtus IV. translated him to the see of See also:Molfetta, and in 1473 created him cardinal-See also:priest of Sta Balbina, subsequently of Sta See also:Cecilia. As pope, he addressed a fruitless See also:summons to Christendom to unite in a crusade against the infidels, and concluded in 1489 a treaty with Bayezid II., agreeing in See also:consideration of an See also:annual See also:payment of 40,000 ducats and the See also:gift of the See also:Holy See also:Lance, to detain the See also:sultan's fugitiA'e brother Jem in See also:close confinement in the Vatican.

Innocent, like his predecessor, hated See also:heresy, and in the bull Su;nmis dcsidera;ilcs (5th of See also:December 1484) he instigated very severe See also:measures against magicians and witches in See also:Germany; he
prohibited (1486) on See also:pain of See also:excommunication the See also:reading of the propositions of See also:Pico della See also:Mirandola; he appointed (1487) T. See also:Torquemada to be See also:grand inquisitor of See also:Spain; and he offered plenary See also:indulgence to all who would engage in a crusade against the Waldenses. He took the first steps towards the See also:canonization of See also:Queen See also:Margaret of See also:Scotland, and sent missionaries under Portuguese auspices to the See also:Congo. An important event of his pontificate was the See also:capture of See also:Granada (2nd of See also:January 1492), which was celebrated at Rome with See also:great rejoicing and for which Innocent gave to Ferdinand of See also:Aragon the See also:title of " See also:Catholic See also:Majesty." Innocent was genial, skilled in flattery, and popular with the See also:Romans, but he lacked See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, !

His See also:Curia was notoriously corrupt, and he himself openly practised nepotism in favour of his See also:children, concerning whom the See also:epigram is quoted: " Octo nocens pueros genuit, totidemque puellas:—Hunc merito potent dicere See also:Roma patrem." Thus he gave to his undeserving son Franceschetto several towns near Rome and married him to the daughter of Lorenzo de' See also:Medici. Innocent died on the 25th of July 1492, and was succeeded by See also:Alexander VI.
