Biography

Death

On April 26, 1478, Giuliano attended High Mass in Florence along with his mistress, and his brother, Lorenzo. Before they could enter the cathedral, however, they were attacked by the Pazzi Conspirators. Bernardo Baroncelli delivered the first blow, slashing Guiliano in the chest. As Francesco de' Pazzi advanced on him, Guiliano begged for mercy, but Francesco refused, and stabbed him 19 times in the chest, killing him.

Family after Death

His son and nephew, Giulio de' Medici, was born one month after these events.

Trivia

• His son, Giulio de' Medici, went on to become Pope Clement VII.
• Giulio was, through a loophole in the law, a legitimate child and was brought up by Lorenzo.
• After the player saves Lorenzo de' Medici from the Pazzi guards and the short cutscene is over, the player can loot and pick up Giulio's dead body.
• It should also be noted that once the cutscene is over, Giuliano is no longer covered in blood and the knife in his chest has disappeared.
