medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A Google search for the phrase "children of popes" revels that the
Library of Congress employs a subject heading "Children of popes". See:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/wls04/awls0405.html
A search of WorldCat for books with this subject heading turned up the
following:

German-speaking countries. A description by its publisher is here:

Perhaps someone with access to Prof. Dr. Herrmann's book could see
whether it answers readily the question posed by Diana's student: "Who
was the last pope known to have been a genetic father?".
