Franceschetto Cybo (baptized Francesco) (c. 1450 – 25 July 1519) was an Italian nobleman, noteworthy for being the illegitimate son of Pope Innocent VIII (Giovanni Battista Cybo). Later naturalized by his father into becoming his legitimate heir, Franceschetto was infamous for his gambling addiction and wanton spending of the Papal treasury for various pleasures and scandals.^[1] He is otherwise noteworthy for his political marriage to Maddalena de Medici, and their offspring formed a dynastic lineage that persists in the nobility of Europe until today.
