Biography

Juan López was born in Valencia, ca. 1455. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Christian theology.

By 1475, López had moved to Rome and joined the household of Cardinal Roderic Llançol i de Borja (the future Pope Alexander VI), eventually becoming the cardinal's secretary. By 1481, he was abbreviatore di parco minore. On February 4, 1484, he became a canon of the cathedral chapter of Valencia Cathedral, and, on February 8, 1484, of La Seu Vella. He later became a canon of St. Peter's Basilica. He served as one of Cardinal Borja's conclavists at the papal conclave of 1484 that elected Pope Innocent VIII. During the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII, he was dean of the cathedral chapter of Valencia Cathedral. He was a papal datary from August 1492 until February 1496.

On December 29, 1492, he was elected Bishop of Perugia. In 1493, he refuted the accusations that the majordomo of Ferdinand II of Aragon made against Pope Alexander VI, with the result that the pope made him papal secretary on December 25, 1493. In December 1494, the pope asked him to intervene in the pope's conflict with Cardinal Ascanio Sforza. Following the 1495 invasion of the Papal States by Charles VIII of France as part of the Italian War of 1494–1498, the pope sent Bishop López to negotiate with representatives of the French king.
