Rise and Fall of the Medici Dynasty - Renaissance History DOCUMENTARY
Relive the Renaissance yourself in Europa Universalis V: https://play.europauniversalis.com/KingsandGenerals
Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of Renaissance continues with a video on the Medici family. Journey into Renaissance Florence & the Medici to see how a banking clan reshaped art, politics, and Europe. After a quick Sponsor: Europa Universalis V nod, we trace the Origins: Guilds, Banking & Cosimo’s Rise, from Mugello roots and the Medici Bank to Cosimo’s deft alliances. Then it’s Lorenzo il Magnifico: Power & Crisis—the Pazzi plot, papal wars, and diplomacy that saved Florence. Firebrands follow in Savonarola, Bonfire & Medici Exile, when moral zealotry topples the dynasty—briefly. The comeback arrives with Medici Supremacy: Popes, Queens & Grand Dukes—Leo X, Clement VII, Catherine de’ Medici, and Cosimo I forging a Tuscan state and influencing France and Rome. Culture blooms in Patronage: Art, Letters & the Platonic Academy—Donatello’s David, Leonardo’s Florentine years, Raphael’s commissions, Ficino’s translations, and Machiavelli’s hard truths. Finally, Decline, Habsburg Takeover & Legacy charts fading coffers, the Family Pact, and the dynasty’s enduring imprint on Florence’s palazzi, chapels, and museums.
