Alexandre de Médicis (1510-1537)
Alexandre de Médicis , known as Alexandre the Moor ( it Italian Moro in ), (Florence July 22nd 1510 - Florence January 6th 1537) was a natural son of Laurent II of Médicis, duke of Urbin and a Andalusian slave of Moorish origin. II is sometimes alleged that Alexandre was wire natural of the cardinal Jules de Médicis (future Pape Clément VII), but it is about a purely free assumption. The argument according to which Laurent II would have recognized Alexandre simply because it would have been, for reasons of suitability, impossible for the cardinal to do it itself, testifies to a quite great ignorance of manners of the time. It would be to forget, to quote only one example among many others, that the cardinal Alexandre Farnèse, future pope Paul III, recognized without the least movement his two natural sons Pierre and Ranuce, that it had had whereas he was cardinal-bishop of Ostie and Oporto… If Alexandre had really been wire of the future Clement VII, there was not in these times of reason to dissimulate it.
Duke of Warp end, Alexandre became also the first duke of Florence in 1532, beginning its reign in 1530. At the end of a criminal life and dissolue, Alexandre was assassinated by his cousin Lorenzino (the “Lorenzaccio” of Musset).
