Lorenzo (the Magnificent) de'Medici was the de facto leader of Florence in the late 15th century. There was an attempt on his life in 1478 orchestrated by the church, and he would brutally hunt down those who tried to kill him (and had successfully killed his brother). This sparked a war against the Vatican, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Lorenzo's is largely known for his further consolidation of Medici political power in Florence, orchestrating a number of important marriages between de Medici's and other European families, spreading and expanding renaissance ideas in Florence and abroad (notably through his patronage of music, art, and various theatrical performances), spreading the concept of diplomacy, and his relationship with Niccolo Machiavelli.
