During the Italian Renaissance, the House of Medici (Medici Family) was a notable Florentine family of politicians, bankers, and statesmen. They also have four crowned Pope's from the family.
According to Wili[pedia, there have been four Medici popes: Pope Leo X (December 11, 1475 - December 1, 1521), born Giovanni de' Medici, was pope from 1513 to his death. Pope Clement VII (May 26, 1478 - September 25, 1534), born Giulio di Giuliano de' Medici, was a cardinal from 1513 to 1523 and was pope from 1523 to 1534. Pope Pius IV (March 31, 1499 - December 9, 1565), born Giovanni Angelo Medici, was pope from 1559 to 1565. However, he was only distantly related to the other Medici Popes. Pope Leo XI (June 2, 1535 - April 27, 1605), born Alessandro Ottaviano de' Medici, was pope from April 1, 1605, to April 27 of the same year.
A:Giovanni de Medici, who became Pope Leo X in 1513, was an immensely wealthy member of the Medici family that had effectively ruled Florence for generations. He was the son of Lorenzo "The Magnificent" de Medici, and the great-grandson of Cosimo de Medici. His older brother Piero "The Unfortunate" died in exile at a relatively young age. To become pope, Giovanni gave up the lordship of Florence, but ensured that the rule passed to another member of the Medici family.Having made his cousin, Giulio, a cardinal, he arranged his appointment to the lucrative post of vice-chancellor. He married his brother Guiliano to a French princess and made over to him the entire income of Parma, Piacenza and Modena, which had recently been incorporated into the Papal States. In 1517 he led a costly war that succeeded in securing his nephew, Lorenzo, as duke of Urbino, at considerable cost to the papal finances.
