During the War of 1499{{ndash}}1504, when [[Louis XII]] of France attempted to conquer Naples, Gioffre sided with the French; but when he was captured by [[Prospero Colonna]] he changed sides to join the Spanish, which caused a rebellion in Alvito. In 1504 he sent the [[Condottieri|condottiero]] [[Fabrizio Colonna]] to stabilise his lands, partly paid for with money he had appropriated from the papal treasury after the death of his father the year before. With the rebellion crushed, Gioffre finally moved to his estates in Alvito and Squillace in 1504.{{Cite web |title=BORGIA, Goffredo - Enciclopedia |url=https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/goffredo-borgia_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ |access-date=2025-10-01 |website=Treccani |language=it}} |
