Background |
| |
Roberto was born into a mercenary military family in the Basque city of Zaragoza in Northern Spain. Since the end of Roman occupation, the Basques for centuries had fought for their independence against the Muslim invaders and then the Frankish kings - suffering some of their most humiliating defeats and punishments under the founders of Catholicism. |
| |
During the 17th and 18th Century it was decided by the Vatican and Jesuits to re-write the founders of the Borja noble titles in Italy to Norman mercenaries largely to lessen the obvious historic importance of the Basque region and the Borja in founding not only the Roman Cult, but also the Jesuits themselves. Today, much of the history surrounding Roberto has been deliberately distorted making a clear understanding very difficult. |
| |
Contrary to the deliberate fiction created around the origin of Roberto and his brother (probably called Rogelio) as being "Norman", the 11th Century Norman knights arrived in Italy as part of the invasion by Holy Catholic Emperor Henry III in 1046. Secondly, these pious and honorable Catholic knights considered the Italian pagan princes and satanic Roman families as their arch-enemies. Therefore, the entire claimed history written about Roberto in the past few hundred years as highly unreliable. |
| |
What is clear is that both Roberto and Rogelio arrived as young mercenaries for hire in Italy well before the invasion of Holy Catholic Emperor Henry III in 1046. The date of 1042/43 is probably a reasonable date. As mercenaries, they would have come to Italy to join one of the private armies of the Italian princes, most probably the Princes of Capua and their city of Benevento in Southern Italy. |
| |
It did not take long for the young Basque soldiers to earn the respect of their employers and when Henry III invaded, it is fair to assume that the Borja brothers played a key part in protecting the Italian pagan nobles. |
| |
When Gregory VII assumed the role of Pontifex Maximus around 1057, it was the Roberto Borja that became the most trusted protector of this first "Pope" of the Roman Cult. |
| |
In 1084, a massive force of 36,000 finally broke the siege of Roman Cult Leader Antipope Gregory VII in Rome who had been protected by the mercenary army of Robert Borja. Robert Borja managed to escape with some of his men, but Antipope Gregory VII was not so lucky and was promptly tried, excommunicated and executed as a heretic of the Catholic Church. Later this historic event was deliberately misconstrued to claim that it was the mercenary army of Robert Borja (the Guiscard), not Emperor Henry IV that liberated Rome from the heretical Roman Cult. |
| |
Robert Borja then fled to Benevento and the father of Zotto, who promptly claimed himself Pontifex Maximus as the heretical Roman Cult AntiPope Victor III (1084–86) against the reign of the true Catholic Pope Clement III (1080, 1084–1100). The elite Norman troops of Henry IV then beseiged Benevento until finally the well fortified city fell in 1085 and AntiPope Victor III along with Robert Borja were executed as heretics against the Catholic faith. |
| |
Zotto and the few remaining Roman Cult priests along with the remnants of the Borja mercenary army managed to escape and around 1086 they named Zotto as the new heretical AntiPope Urban II -- Pontifex Maximus of the Roman Cult. |
