Papal States (Tudor Line)

Leo X
Leo X inherited his de Medici style of spending, he was electer in 1513 and by the time Henry IX was born in 1514, the coffers were empty, his cousin (future Pius IV) was selling thing behind his back, so he started selling indulgences, which brought about Lutherans, who wanted to strom the Vatican 3x during his reign.

Adrian VI and Pius IV
Adrian VI's 21 months rule is almost unimportant, all he tried was getting back the money into the coffers, ignoring the coming storm of the Protestant Wars. Pius IV took much more interest in the situlation and he infact went on his own crusades against the Lutherans. His spending almost brought the Papal States into bankrupcy.

Alexander VII
Alexander VII spend even more money on the Lutherans and also spend more gold then the Holy Roman Emperor could afford on his corunation. Finally in the end of his reign, he had to pass a law that all churches had to pay him, still no coin stayed in the coffers for more than 2 days.
