Borghese Petrucci was an Italian politician, who ruled the Republic of Siena from 1512 to 1516.
Petrucci was born in Siena in 1490, eldest son of Pandolfo Petrucci and Aurelia Borghese, daughter of Niccolò Borghese and brother of Cardinal Alfonso Petrucci. Borghese was presumably named in honor of his maternal grandfather.
He does not appear in the sources with official duties until on 6 February 1512, when his father, now ill and near death, decided to make him the city's ruler. The death of Pandolfo occurred May 21, 1512 and Borghese became the "Primus" of Siena and Monte dei Nove. Favored in government by his brother Alfonso, the Cardinal of Saint Theodore, he exercised the functions of government in a confrontation between the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of Venice. He was an ally of the Kingdom of France, after the agreements concluded at Blois in 1513. Upon election of Giovanni de Medici as Pope Leo X, Petrucci tried to maintain Siena's independence allying with the Kingdom of Spain in 1511.
Siena was wedged between the Republic of Florence and the Papal States, and maintained ties between Petrucci and the Baglioni of Perugia. Leo X, unable to occupy the territories directly, facilitated a coup on 8 March 1516, by Raffaello Petrucci, Bishop of Grosseto and lord of Castel S. Angelo.
Borghese Petrucci was banished from Siena in May 1516 and moved to Naples, where, in the years following, he was named Baron. The date of his death is unknown.
Pope Julius II was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 1503 to his death, in February 1513. Nicknamed the Warrior Pope, Battle Pope or the Fearsome Pope, he chose his papal name not in honour of Pope Julius I but in emulation of Julius Caesar. One of the most powerful and influential popes, Julius II was a central figure of the High Renaissance and left a significant cultural and political legacy. As a result of his policies during the Italian Wars, the Papal States increased its power and centralization, and the office of the papacy continued to be crucial, diplomatically and politically, during the entirety of the 16th century in Italy and Europe.

The Republic of Siena was a historic state consisting of the city of Siena and its surrounding territory in Tuscany, central Italy. It existed for over 400 years, from 1125 to 1555. During its existence, it gradually expanded throughout southern Tuscany becoming one of the major economic powers of the Middle Ages, and one of the most important commercial, financial and artistic centers in Europe.
Pompeo Colonna was an Italian noble, condottiero, politician, and cardinal. At the culmination of his career he was Viceroy of the Kingdom of Naples (1530–1532) for the Emperor Charles V. Born in Rome, he was the son of Girolamo Colonna, whose father Antonio was second Prince of Salerno; and Vittoria Conti, of the Conti de Poli. His family belonged to the highest rank of nobility both of the City of Rome and of the Kingdom of Naples. Pompeo and his family were hereditary supporters of the Holy Roman Empire (Ghibbelines), and they spent their careers fighting their hereditary enemies, the Orsini family, and defending and expanding their family territories and interests. He played a significant, if sometimes disruptive, role in the Conclaves of 1521 and 1523 on behalf of the Imperial interest. His family commitments and his conclave activities brought Pompeo into conflict with the second Medici pope, Clement VII, whose election he vigorously opposed, and made him a leading figure in the attempted overthrow of Pope Clement and the Sack of Rome in 1527.
