Again, thank you so much! You’re the best.
Can we get More on this , like a Borgia video, somthin on machavelli?
I’d like to thank Assassin’s Creed II for first introducing me to the Medici family.
Yes it’s were the majority of Ezio’s Trilogy began and up to the Ottoman era
Are you the master they speak of in all the legends?
Assassin's Creed Ezio's trilogy is the best history teacher 🤣
@@cloverassassinscreed I’m glad to have found another brother in our midst
Anglos people learning "history'' from videogames and not from school/books ... Weird
All those years of playing Assassin's Creed have finally paid off
Same
Totally
sad
Knowing stuff about Renaissance with a game..My God.
How sad. But I guess you got there.
Medici's: *Leads Florence for decades filled with prosperity*
Savonarola: "Allow me to introduce myself."
👍
😂 yes please ! The bonfire of vanities !
I am absolutely obsessed with The Medici family.
i'm a Medici!
I know what you mean. The name in some ways serves as a "handle" to get a grip on an important as well as interesting era. We were at earlier times a cluster of little family groups.
Eventually we were able to become less isolated and as we found regions that could both feed and defend a larger population we transitioned.
We eventually grew into nation states but before that we were city states that started to carry on trade over the area of continents.
The Medici facilitated a change in religion that allowed the banking and lending rules to be modified. It allowed interest on loans to account for risk. Trade is not always able to be complete successfully.
Caravans carrying goods can bee attacked. Ships at sea can be sunk in storms or hit rocks near shore. Then there are pirates too.
The inventions also created coffee houses where coffee stimulated investors to intelligently make investments and that is why stock markets developed. A share caused math to be used to compute how the share on capital invested yielded a share of the profits, if any.
The bankers in Florence teamed with the traders in Venice. I believe Marco Polo came from Venice.
In short we can see a conglomeration of religion, banking, trade over land and by sea, geography, navigation, etc come together in the rebirth of classical knowledge going back to Augustus Caesar and the creation of the PRINCIPATE. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
BTW. Greetings brother. I am a relation to the Pucci who were allies of the Medici. There is the story of how the Florence history goes back to Gaius Julius Caesar. The transitions from political structures from and to
Republic government to aristocracy to dictatorship. The Pucci hailed back to the Saracini who were rooted in the Julii and Claudii equestrian families of Roman, the Empire, and eventually to the transition of Greek Hellenism to Christianity.
I have taken time off from work during the pandemic and made some research from the time of the Roman Senate, to the Roman Empire, and on to the middle ages that gave birth to the Renaissance.
Eventually that branched to the Enlightenment, the British Empire.
Finally the American Revolution leads to the creation of our own Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
Whew! It was a trip!.
Yes the Medici family are truly magnificent. I also love the Netflix show called Medici
Kanye last rant brought me here 😂
Many thanks for your description of the Medici history. In 1962 our family received a letter from the Vatican.
My maternal grandmother was Pucci.
Antonio Maria Pucci was from a family with 23 Priors and 3 Cardinals. Antonio was canonized December 9, 1962.
Eventually I became interested in doing some research into that portion of or family history. We found that the Pucci were allies of the Medici during the transition from republic to dukedom and grand dukedom.
Some of the history pertained to the Lateran Councils circa 1200.
Other facets described the possibility of familial relations when the Pucci may have been Saracini in name. It was said that this lead to connections by marriage to the families Julii and Claudii. What did that mean? At first I may have found Julian the Apostate was Caesar about 342 AD. Going further back Wikipedia mentions some basis of the connection maybe going to Gaius Julius Caesar and adopted grand nephew Octavius. Aka: Caesar Augustus. It became an interest to think of how Antonio became a saint and the connections to those earlier ancestors with glory and fame on one hand, as well as a huge amount of administered death.
It really gives you a perspective on history. Thank you for the research you bring to us.
I alm researching a family connection to the Strozzi family. They were banking rivals to the Medici.
Crazy
Both of those bloodlines died out in the early 100s AD.
@@Kakashi1isjskkswhat bloodlines are in charge now?
That modern guy does looks a lot like his Ancestor. That is awesome.
The family have revels too. Two of them disassociated themselves and there was one who even became a hermit later canonized as a Saint.
Here because Kanye told me these guys run the world
Facts lol
Not anymore. They’re all (mostly) gone. The last lineal descendant was Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici and she died in 1743 without children.
At least the work they funded survived.
@@thenablade858. And now they’re the orsini now
@@Jesse-te6wzhow ?
That's what they want you to think @@thenablade858
Dude you left out Cosimo's wife who bought the palazzo vecchio Eleonora de Toledo from Spain whom was richer and more prominent than Cosimo. Plus she brought him money and Army.
Contessina and her daughter in law were some of the best women ❤️
Yesss, the show really highlights the role of these two women
If you came because of kanyes interview i am too🤣
🤣🤣💯I did
That guy is an absolute carbon copy if not Lorenzo the magnificent himself lol
This is the coment i've been looking for
The family still in Power
Great content thank you!
Maybe a topic on the Grimaldi family in liguria, and nowadays Monaco, could be interesting
I learned recently I am a distant descendant of the Medici family, Pietro de' Medici is my 13th great grandfather, he had several illegitimate children who would be born in France and embrace French culture, and would eventually immigrate to Quebec, Canada.
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus is my great uncle twice removed
38 years old and just now hearing about these people
Wow I like your content. Editing and narrating make your channel my favorite. Your work should be admired . You are deserve more subscriber I hope you must gain 2 Million subscriber by the end of this year. Please keep continue this type of amazing work. Your admirable hard work and deep research make you the best channel on TH-cam.
Assassins creed brought me here 😊. The borgias were a far more interesting bunch but i will never forget the medicis for making me wear their pepperoni pizza looking symbol in the game lol.
I am a descendant to both families Medici, Borgias and also the Sonderinis too.
@@brandonthearchivist55 sure you are pal
It is so sad when a family like this weakens over time. At least, their legacy remains.
I agree. Sad!
Why is it sad?
😂you fools these people are still in power !!do some conspiracy research on it😉
They still rule the world today
@zVinceTheSniperthose 13 bloodlines you know don’t actually rule the world they are the scapegoats
This looks so amazing This is awesome I love it
Kanye West brought me here!
As Italian I have always wondered if they were the ones who unified Italy, thus becoming the royal family of a united Italy in 1400. No Bourbons or Savoy.
Great content, concise history of the Medici family. The city of Folrence still remains as a city 9f the birth of THe Renaissance.
2:02 I never thought I’d see Robb Stark as one of the Medici
He actually plays the role of a pacci not a medici
Great topic, I love it.
Thank you.
There is a tv show about the Medici
They had a pic that had the cast in it in this show.
whos here from the netflix show medici mastres of Florence
Finally i found someone who watched it
@@troy517 yessz absolutely love the show
From that show and reign. Since reign has Catherine de Medici.
So interesting! Was supposed to learn about the Renaissance as part of my degree...but was more interested in other things at that stage 😂. The whole world of Florence and the Medici ...was...well, pretty alien to me, as a working class girl. ( I had never even travelled abroad! ) Really I was more into 20th century history. Ahh we make mistakes like that when we are young.😢 Great summary...have learned more about this family and the Renaissance in recent years than I ever did from my degree!😜
When I first read these series of Medici I felt cultivated, (bas relief) the Spanish rule couldn't handle the Italians, Penelope the mother of Raphael kept wearing a white veil and it felt like she swung with different men to distract people. It wasn't until the priest who underneath, kept pressing his colleagues to do away with some of this pressure, which they did.
The Medici family, most influential and respected families in all human history
Not as influential as the Rothschild
That’s your opinion not fact.
@@dianeruiz0721 It can be disputed
There are many in the east as well living descendants of royal families who are still respected to this day. In the west itself the royal family of UK easily has more respect and influence.
@@siddarth3955 no respect
2:13 the guy in red was so angry his eye split to another direction
Watch the series. Medici: masters of Florence...
Wow ! They do look very similar!!
how can I contact you I have a question
The pronunciation in this video is wild. Great content though!!
Amazing
Interesting how many great European families just ran out of male heirs.
@Asa Felix No. Fertility issues were incredibly common back then + infant mortality was very high.
Nobody lasts forever. There are still Medici descendants though.
what's the song in the background called?
Can anyone tell me the name of the background music
0:03 The Renaissance
0:20 The Borgia Family
0:28 The Medici Family of Florence
0:38 _Square Space_
2:00 The Medici held a Bank 🏦 Fortune 💰💰💰💰
Oh boy I've read a lot and watched the series unfortunately after I visited Florence earlier this year. When you see in person the art, the buildings and everything else lasting centuries later is mind numbing experience. Those people have build a legacy for the ages ahead and immortalised their family name. They simply make the contemporary oligarchs and billionaires with their yachts look puny. Cosimo had consolidated such incomprehensible power yet he used it softly, with every monarch and the church owing him he managed to remain in the history as humanitarian and not despot. What a legend....the true ruler of Florence with no titles.
The medici family had real taste. Unlike the billionaires of today who patronize frauds like damian hirst and jeff koons. They all have the same houses and the same cars. No one will remember them when they’re gone.
He's either a clone or a time traveler...
I love your channel. But this one has no English subtitles.
The Lorenzo De Medici of today is a Clone of his illustrious ancestor... Wow...
Not really a Prince though. There was never a Medici King. It was a TV show that called him a prince, not accurate.
@@loveegiorno8106 through out history, prince was not always defined as the son of a king. The word prince means something like "first to take the spoils", the one owed the lion's share. In the context the Italian renascence, it meant simply "a sovereign ruler", be it a duke, king, an arch-bishop with a secular domain or the head of a city-state.
So, depending on which Lorenzo de Médici you are talking about, eg. Lorenzo "the Magnificent" Médici, it is not wrong to call him a prince.
What is the name of background music???
Interesting 😍
Kanye sent me.
Facts lol
And to think that one of them became a Sequence 1 Conqueror of the Hunter Pathway
Kanye got me here
Medici sound like a airfryer model
How exact is family tree of medicci in da vincis demons?
Love 💕 me some renaissance molto bellisima🇭🇺🇯🇲
Thanks to davinci's Demons I got a good idea of them.
Love the fact you mentioned they were “cultured” before everything else. Their leaders need to coach them before they can single handedly instill the same thought process to the rest of the world to make what we call today modern world.
7:27 "the unofficial Medici ****" what is this word, how do you spell it?
how does this have no comments but u have a million subs
Algorithm?
I believe he lives in Portugal now, at Comporta
I wanted to ask if your videos or comics are protected by copyright?
Or if you offer your videos to other channels?
Have seen a channel that uploads exactly the same videos as here on the channel only in German. 😂🙈
Name of music in background?
"From Russia with Love"
While Lorenzo (The Magnificent) had a son named Giuliano (di Lorenzo de’ Medici) he was never a cardinal nor having any position in the church. He became the Duke of Nemours. It was Giulio who became a cardinal and later became Pope Clement VII. Giulio was the illegitimate son of Lorenzo’s brother, Giuliano. So there were only two Medicis that were in the church, not 3 like the video suggests.
First
My favorite time of art the Renaissance
I would love to get to know everything about my family
"Prince" Lorenzo de Medici
I am only here because of Assassin's Creed II only.
I'm sorry for your ignorance and for the school system of your country
You pronounced Borgias wrong but I get what you were trying to say.
That wasn't the only name he mispronounced... He also put the stress wrong in 'Medici' and 'Cosimo' and mispronounced 'Brunelleschi' and 'Gentileschi'.
@@findingthatperfectspot4692 this isn’t a bot is it?
@@veronicastevens1614 I'm honestly not sure! The commentary sounds very robot-like at times, then quite human at other times. I think the narrator is human, but I wouldn't wager a house on it. :-)
5:22 Medici so rich, they owned the first smartphone
The nobel Family DE Medici ITaLy
were The founder of The Money Bank
SysTem which we know Today
Haha I saw the name and I was like don't mention it. Then read it again and was like... Awww
I grew up here.
How can there be no mention of poison?
Love 💕 me some rens
**nervously laughs in elbow blades**
4:30 Cosimo transformed Florence into the capital of the Renaissance
Thank you Assassins Creed for bringing me here. Who said videogames aren't educational?
So are these images of the charecters real? Could I imagine them really looking like this
What about Jakob Fugger though?
Davinci's Demons brought me here !!!!!!!!!!!!
Same with me to!
Did they blur Adam's private parts at 0:13. When do they get a Renaissance in The States????? This is Really shocking.
wasnt catherines daughter also queen of spain?
bro this family is one of the most powerful families in the world rn
No. The last lineal descendant died hundreds of years ago + they are not that rich or powerful anymore.
The Murdoch family is MUCH more powerful nowadays. This ain’t the Renaissance anymore.
Explore Golgumbaz Deccan india 🇮🇳
Its pronounced "borj-wah-zie"
Didn't know Ross from Friends was a Medici😂
Hey I don't need your history lesson ... I saved medici from getting killed as Ezio
I don't think being a banker in Renaissance Times was something considered modest, but high status
This is deep man, black in the medic family very political..
Lord 🙏 save us..
I came here after Kanye mentioned them.
this family is still at the top like literally of everything lol.
Kanye exposed them by saying they are still above the Vatican today.
The Byzantine Influence on the Italian Renaissance
Ionut Alexandru Plescau
University of Bucharest
Romania
The Byzantine empire were blacks
Amazing those two look so much alike….
It funny that Borgia and medici families overlap in power
Enemies
Am I the only who knows when cuz of Kanye's tantrum on sway's channel
Gonna guess when Kanye mentioned them either he didn’t mean this family specifically but ones like them or he was just being crazy again
U said boria wrong
Who is here after watching 'Medici' series on netflix
Lotm…?
Kanye West brought me here
2024 he just brought me here
Netflix brought me here.
This family runs the world
Yep..above the Vatican
no , the orsini family does, this family isnt around anymore
it would be much better if the video would have English subtitles and not Dach
