Piero de' Medici
Piero de' Medici, often referred to as Piero the Unfortunate, was the son of Lorenzo de' Medici and a key figure in the political landscape of Florence during the late 15th century. He ascended to power after his father's death in 1492 but struggled to maintain the family's influence amid increasing external threats and internal discontent. His decision to cede control of key fortifications to Charles VIII of France in an attempt to avoid conflict led to widespread backlash, culminating in the Medici family's exile from Florence on November 9, 1494.
