Leonardo's father (Piero) was from a good family that had money. They were a family of notaries. which was kind of like a lawyer back then. Leonardo's mother (Caterina) was just a servant girl who worked at the house of Leonardo's grandparents.

Piero da Vinci had to marry someone in the same social standing as he, not a pauper girl. Social standing was something very important during the Renaissance times.
