Answer: Leonardo was born to a young, poor, (possibly Turkish) peasant mother and a "notary"--most-like a lawyer today-- father. Because they were never married, Leonardo was denied formal schooling. No, he was not adopted.

Leo was never formally accepted (legitimized) by his newly-rich father, and spent his early years with his mother and grandparents; he was especially fond of an uncle near Vinci. His father brought him into his household in Florence about the age of 6, and, though helpful to Leonardo (as his only possible heir at the time), never allowed him his true inheritance, especially after his first marriage produced a son (legally, the first heir). By 1480, Ser Piero's tax records showed Leo was no longer resident in his house.

Interestingly, Leonardo's half-brothers and sisters earned little mention that has remained: they did not inherit the mind nor skills he developed. Surely you are different from your brothers and sisters?

Upon the death of his father, Leo traveled to Florence several times to plead his birthrights in court against his half-brothers, but left money to them in his own Will (5 weeks before his death in 1519).
