Another 2 extremely influential Italian dynasties of the late mediaeval period were the Viscontis and Sforzas of Milan -both families were very influential in Italy and in the rest of Europe -of especial note was the infamous Bernabo Visconti -extremely rich and ruthless and his numerous daughters married into many European royal families like that of Bavaria .The Sforzas too married into many royal dynasties like the Polish.These princesses often brought Renaissance styles into their host countries.

It is not thought to known that Prince was based on Cesare Borgia, it is known. Machiavelli brings him up constantly in his book as an example of an excellent ruler and conqueror. Really good video btw.

The peak of the papacy was also its undoing. Great work as always, big fan.

I've always heard Medici pronounced with an emphasis on the Meh syllable, not the Di. That's how the Italians pronounce it anyway. Meeeh (long E) - Di (short I) - Chi.

Thank you so much for this chat, I just finished watching the Medici's and The Borgias on Netflix and this charts places every one in perspective, Including after watching the Tudors as well, now i know who forbade Henry divorce, it was a Medici. Thank You Thank You great work.

Wonderful way to understand and remember the era! Bravo and thank you!

Been watching the movies of both the Bogias and the Medici. Great job on the map.

the pronunciation of Cesare made me shiver.

Your videos are the most interesting and edifying on KZread . Bravo!

The Borgias are the most infamous family in the Renaissance for their crimes, but plotting was a constant in Italian courts. Cesare wanted to unified Central Italy, but his plans were frustrated by his nemesis, Pope Julius II. There is a beautiful book about Lucretia Borgia by an Italian author, Maria Bellonci

Very informative! Interesting to see the connections laid out so clearly. thanks.

Yesss have been waiting for this video, great!

Sorry I am Stupid when it comes to popes

Thank you for your excellent essay and graphics. Subscribing, of course.

Thank you for your videos...very informative. This video is especially significant to me. I’ve always been obsessed with royalty as young as 3 or 4 yrs old. Anyway, a couple years ago I got obsessed with The De Medici family due to their influence using the arts to brand themselves. Although my obsession continued with them, it changed as time went on for different reasons because of my religious beliefs. They are solely responsible for breaking the True Christian Church in two. Yes we can give previous Popes some blame for the split of the church. Pope Leo X was selling indulgences on a unimaginable amount ever seen by the church before and after. The two De Medici cousins held Sacred Papal positions back to back. They were very selfish and lived only for themselves. The first De Medici Pope spent all the church money within a year. The church’s money isn’t for individual lavish lifestyle. This is not what the faith is about, at all. We’re still living with what they allowed to happen to the very present day. Thanks again. Keep those videos coming. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I love your videos! I would encourage you to do new charts and upload more videos! I ordered the European royal family trees North/East chart from you and it is going to arrive soon because I saw a plane heading towards Norwich! From Samuel, a big fan aged 8.

Very nice video as usual! I was looking forward to it. I've read that though Alessandro de Medici was recognised as Lorenzo II's son he could have in fact be the illegitimate child of the Pope Clement VII (an illegitimate child himself) and Simonetta da Collevecchio (presumably a servant). Who knows, all things considered it wouldn't be that surprising haha

Been watching a series of Medici on Netflix! And loved it!

Hello! My eleven year old son loves your videos. We watch them together almost every day. Any chance you could make one on the kings/rulers of Naples, Sicily and/or Sardinia? Keep up the great work! Thanks.

Fascinating, back at the time, the whole of Europe looked to Italy to set the fashions and the culture. I read "the Prince" first for my A level English literature, for the influence it had on the Elizabethan playwrights, and again for my Politics degree.

Everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition. By law they had to give 6 weeks notice before they turned up.

The Borgias spoke Catalan, probably the Valencian dialect, not Spanish, so their names weren't really Alfonso or Juan but Alfons and Joan. The J in Borja actually is a nonexistant sound in Spanish (it's like the J in English) and this is the reason it was written Borgia in italian, as it is the italian way of writing this sound.

Very good and informative video.

So fun fact connecting Pope sixtus iv with the medici family... His other nephew giralamo Riario, capt general of the church's army, was married to (the fascinating) Caterina Sforza. Together they had 6? Children. Caterina later married Giovanni il popolano of the jr Medici house. They had a son who had a son, the first grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo de Medici. I was hoping caterina would get a mention when I first clicked on this video... but as usual a great video nonetheless. Would love some more videos on Italian family trees!

Excellent video

Other thing, a curiosity, a black man (son of a black woman)Alessandro de Medici that was the first hereditary Duke from Florence , if he wasn't assasinated, one of his 3 children though illegitemate like him, could be part of these family trhee and, who knows, be the first black person in the france royalte... His daughter Julia de Medici was the firs black child to have a portrait painted in renaissance period. She also married the Duke of Popoli and after a cousing called Bernadetto de Médici thanks

Hoping for a Big Family Tree laying out all the popes and showing if they have some genealogical connections. Also it would be interesting to see a video about the Popes of the See of St. Mark in Alexandria. Also Jerusalem, Antiochia and Constantionple.

Thank you! 🌻

Thank you for doing a video on the House of Medici!

Thank you for this!! I am descended from Pietro Albertis, grandson of Giacomo Boncompagni & de Crenomo de' Medici. Both were descended from popes, Pope Gregory XIII (Ugo) Boncompagni & Pope Paul III (Alessandro Farnese). By far the hardest ancestry I have researched to date & I have over 13,000 in my tree. You should do a chart showing the expansion between royals of various monarch countries. It gets crazy trying to sort through who married who in which country. Mind bending & hair pulling!!! 😱

Well, you talked about Sixtus IV, hopefully I'll make it into a video one of these days....

Oh I’d love to see the whole Medici family tree

Can you do a video about the medici linage up to the current descendants?

Do you have an update on the medici line into todays time? I heard direct lineage died out?

Great note about the origins of the word nepotism. It connects to the names of the sea gods, Neptune and Poseidon, as well. The PIE root was Apam Napat, which meant (male) relative of the waters. I’m guessing the original Waters meant an elder Titaness like Thetis. Great video.

thank you soooo much!!!!!

Hey can you cover the aldobrandini, massimo families? Also more families of the black nobility?

Can believe there is a youtuber that can get most of the names right! Ps:In italian an "e" (like in "Lucrezia") sounds like an "a" (like in "play

Super chart, it's going to become very tangled like spaghetti(intended) when the other significant members of these families are added. Not really fussed about pronunciation as you very likely get pulled up for that already. So I decided to just enjoy the video. 👍👍

amazing video! could you make a video about the "black nobility" ?

Machiavelli wrote the Prince as a sort of training manual for Lorenzo.

It’s worth noting that Clement VII forbade Henry’s divorce mostly because Charles V strong armed him. I think the pope was the emperor’s prisoner during the ordeal. I doubt Clement cared much either way. Catherine of Aragon was Charles’s aunt and Henry had been Charles’s rival in the Imperial Election of 1519, thus leading him to oppose the move.

I love your React

Up to my knowledge, indulgences are not the forgiveness of sins, but the remission of the temporal penalties of sin. An indulgence is usually granted by acts of piety, charity and even donations. So really they donated money for the Church and that way had an indulgence (although this can lead to an abuse). Excommunication is not "basically getting kicked out of the Church" either.

Awesome.

Nice work. Dang It keep going.
