There is no doubt but that he was one of Lucretia's most intimate acquaintances.

In June, 1503, Caesar had also this favorite of his father strangled.
Besides Burchard and Lorenz Behaim, there was another German who was familiar with the family affairs of the Borgias, Goritz of Luxemburg, who subsequently, during the reigns of Julius II and Leo X, became famous as an academician.

Even in Alexander's time the cultivated world of Rome was in the habit of meeting at Goritz's house in Trajan's Forum for the purpose of engaging in academic discussions.

All the Germans who came to Rome sought him out, and he must have received Reuchlin, who visited that city in 1498, and subsequently Copernicus, Erasmus, and Ulrich von Hutten, who remembered him with gratitude; it is also probable that Luther visited his hospitable home.

Goritz was _supplicant referent_, and as such he must have known Lucretia personally, because the influential daughter of the Pope was the constant recipient of petitions of various sorts.
