Born in Florence, Piero di Lorenzo de’ Medici was the oldest son of Lorenzo de’ Medici (Lorenzo the Magnificent) and Clarice Orsini, and older brother of the future Pope Leo X. He was educated to succeed his father as head of the Medici family and de facto ruler of the Florentine state, under notable figures such as Angelo Poliziano. However, his feeble, arrogant and undisciplined character was to prove unsuited to such a role. |
