We’re taking a break from Charles V, since I’ve another comic about him coming up. But for now, I bring you The Medicis. This is Lorenzo II Medici, also known as, Lorenzo the Not As Cool As His Grandfather and Great Great Grandfather Medici. The grandfather is the ghost thing in the corner, Lorenzo de Medici (or Lorenzo il Magnifico). The great great grandfather was Cosimo, the man with a plan who started it all. There were some Piero’s between the Cosimos and Lorenzos but they weren’t as cool. If you’re a Medici, never name your son Piero.
The Medicis were kicked out of Florence a couple of times for being too obvious about their power grabbing schemes. Amateurs.
