  • Pope Sixtus V (13 December 1521 – 27 August 1590), born Felice Peretti di Montalto, served as Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, 1585-1590. His papacy is known for its tremendous ambition in matters both foreign and domestic, and for several achievements, despite its short duration. He financed numerous public works projects that helped modernize the Papal States. His foreign policy generally looked towards the shoring up of Catholic influence abroad. He continued the excommunication of Elizabeth I of England, and pledged a substantial sum to Philip II of Spain should he successfully overrun England. The Spanish Armada did fail, and the money was never paid. At the time of his death, Sixtus was not particularly well-loved by his subjects. Posterity has vindicated him.
