  Notes	http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/cgi-bin/gedlkup.php/n=royal?royal10190 Ruler of Florence 1519-1523. Born 1478; died 25 September, 1534. Giulio de' Medici was born a few months after the death of his father, Giuliano, who was slain at Florence in the disturbances which followed the Pazzi conspiracy. Although his parents had not been properly married, they had, it was alleged, been betrothed «i»per sponsalia de presenti,«/i» and Giulio, in virtue of a well-known principle of canon law, was subsequently declared legitimate. The youth was educated by his uncle, Lorenzo the Magnificent. He was made a Knight of Rhodes and Grand Prior of Capua, and, upon the election of his cousin Giovanni de' Medici to the papacy as «u»Leo X <http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09162a.htm>«/u», he at once became a person of great consequence. On 28 September, 1513, he was made «u»cardinal <http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03333b.htm>«/u», and he had the credit of being the prime mover of the papal policy during the whole of Leo's pontificate «u»«b»Catholic Encyclopedia«/u»«/b» http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04024a.htm
