Editing Database: Piero de' Medici

[[AC2_Piero_de'_Medici_database.png|thumb|250px]]
Date of Birth: 1472.

Profession: Exiled Ruler of Florence, Noble.

The oldest son of Lorenzo de' Medici, Piero is primarily known in history circles as a colossal fuck up. Piero the Unfortunate (yup, that's his nickname) took over as leader of Florence in 1492, and failed to keep Charles VIII of France from marching into Italy to reclaim Naples in 1494. Then, when Charles demanded control over Tuscany, Piero surrendered Florence's fortresses without a fight.

Outraged, and under the influence of Savonarola, the Florentines chased Piero out of Florence and sacked the Palazzo Medici. Piero hid out in Venice for a couple years. Then, true to form, he was drowned in the Garigliano River while fleeing from battle in 1503.
