Worried about the rise of Cosimo de' Medici and his family, Rinaldo and his father Maso had him first imprisoned[2] in the Palazzo della Signoria[3] and then exiled.[2][4] However, the following year, Cosimo gained power and banished the whole Albizzi family save for Rinaldo's brother Luca, who was loyal to the Medici.[2][4]
