The Papal Guard were elite soldiers commanded by the Papacy to serve and protect the pontiff during his tenure. By 1503, the Papal guards protected Pope Alexander VI, and were led by the Pope's son and Captain General, Cesare Borgia. Following the fall of the Borgia, they were once again commanded by their former captain Fabio Orsini. They were also the precursors to the Swiss Guard.
