Alphonse Caraffa , nephew of the pope Paul IV, and wire of Jean Alphonse Caraffa, count of Montorio.
Paul IV stripped to enrich them the families Colonne and Guidi; it supported even because of them a war against Naples and the Spain; but in 1559, little before its death, the complaints which on all sides their rapacity and their injustices raised forced it to exile them Rome and to deprive them of their dignities.
Its successor, Black and white IV, enemy personnel of Caraffa, pushed the punishment further: in 1560, the cardinal Charles Caraffa was condemned to died and strangled in its prison; his/her brother, Jean Caraffa, suspected of having made assassinate his wife, had the distinct head; the cardinal Alphonse Caraffa, wire of Antoine, were subjected to a fine of 100.000 ecus; finally the Roman senate abolishes by a decree the memory of Caraffa: but in 1566 Pie V made re-examine their lawsuits and reinstated them in their titles and honors.
