The House of Medici was the strongest family in Florence during the late 15th century. Lorenzo de' Medici, il Magnifico was the head of the house, and a close ally to the Auditore family, as well as their Assassin connections. They are subject to Templar attack due to their de facto control of Florence.
At High Mass, Lorenzo's brother Giuliano de' Medici was killed in the Pazzi Conspiracy.
The Medici Cape was given to Ezio Auditore by Lorenzo as a symbol of faith and trust soon after he saved Lorenzo's life during the assassination attempt by the Pazzi.
Lorenzo died in 1492 and control of the house was passed to his son Piero the Unfortunate. Piero let Florence pass into Girolamo Savonarola's hands by 1494. After Savonarola's assassination in 1498, it took fourteen years for the Medici to regain control of Florence.
Trivia
- The Medici are the only rulers in Assassin's Creed II who controlled two regions, Florence and San Gimignano.
