Baldassarre Cossa, the man referred to as "Pope John XXIII" in the video is now considered an Antipope by the Catholic church. That's why, in the 20th century, you had another John XXIII (1958-1963), who is recognized as the Pope.
He is buried in a magnificent early Renaissance tomb within the baptistery of Florence which is right next to the Cathedral (Duomo) and considered a masterpiece of the early Renaissance - so obviously a lot of people thought highly of him despite being at the center of the Great Schism and demoted to being an antipope!
the prophet mohamd said : The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise(Those who are faithful to God and worship Him alone and They are Muslims by the path of Moses until the coming of Jesus ) and seventy in Hell . The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise(Those who are faithful to God and worship Him alone and They are Muslims by the path of jessus until the coming of mohamed). I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The main body(Those who are faithful to God and worship Him alone as salafi as al albanian and ibn otheimin ibn timia ibn kaiim ) .........We must follow the truth and not follow the devil and not follow ourselves.
Fun fact: The 28th brazilian president was a descendant of the Medici family, his name was Emílio Garrastazu Médici and he was the son of an Italian immigrant and a Uruguayan woman of Basque origin.
@@ramirosotto Not saying he did, I'm not fighting or disagreeing at all. I just don't want foreigner to think Médici was like a normal president. My bad if it sounded rude.
That was a really good presentation of the Medici family, thank you. I do wish that Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, the last survivor of the family, had made it onto the chart. She bequeathed all her family's fantastic treasures to the city of Florence on condition that the collection never be sold or divided. What a legacy for Florence.
Interesting fact : although in more modern history grand duchies are mostly associated with the german world (Baden, Hesse, Mecklenburg, Luxenburg, etc.), Tuscany was actually the first state ever to become a grand duchy. Ironically, it was also the only state in Italy to ever hold this rank.
@@HansWurst1569Luxembourg was only a Duchy for several centuries, until 1815 when the Congress of Vienna raised it to a Grand Duchy. The first Grand Duke of Luxembourg was also the first King of the Netherlands, William I.
I guess the archduchy of Austria is slightly diffrent than a grand duchy. Otherwise if you wanted to elavate yourself above a duke you declered a kingdom.
On tours in Florence, local guides said that the circles on the emblem were pills, tying in with the Medici name. They're often shown as round balls, not just flat discs.
My theory about the Medici family coat of arms is that the red circles are simply well-aligned pepperoni pieces and that it actually represents a slice of pizza.
A commendable job of keeping the Medici and their connections straight. (Parenthetically, HRE Francis I,was the husband of Empress Maria Theresa, and the father of Marie Antoinette, among many others.)
So great! I like it when I suddenly recognize a person from one chart that is also in another important chart. This illuminated for me how the Hapsburgs got all up in this family via Marie de Medici .These royal family charts are akin to a rubiks cube or some other kind of incredible 3d puzzle.
Nice too see you revising more of your charts Matt. May I suggest doing more royal family trees like Bulgaria? That one is the only one left you have not covered on your Europe East Chart.
Great video! Should probably have mentioned that the John XXIII in the video was labelled an anti-pope after the Council of Constance, especially since the name was used again 500 years later by a different John XXIII who initiated the Second Vatican Council, one of the most defining events of modern Catholicism.
That series is not so bad-especially season 1-but take it with a grain of salt: it has lots of artistic liberties (e.g. the character of Contessina de' Bardi). I also recommend you the manga series "Cesare" (Cesare Borgia) by Fuyumi Soryo. It has just as many artistic liberties-don't get me wrong-but it's very entertaining and helps you get an idea of the mood of italian politics and life in those years. And then of course there is also the novel "The Borgias" by Alexandre Dumas (the author of "The Three Musketeers"). There are a lot more books, movies and series about the Medici and the Borgias (some are good, many are crap), but I cannot quote them all.
The House of Medici is connected to House of Bardi, House of Sforza, House of Pazzi, House of Orsini and House of Farnese, 5 notables Italians noble houses and with House of Valois and House of Bourbon, 2 French Dynasties that a part of House of Robertian and with House of Habsburg, the notable Dynasty of HRE and Empire of Austria.
"Not exactly the Cubs winning the World Series" - wasn't expecting to hear that phrase (I'm from Illinois and was a Cubs fan when I was younger). The Medici family is beyond interesting. So much intrigue.
Fun fact: Alessandro "De Moro" del Medici was actually one of the first African descended European scholars in early modern Westerm history, as well as the first (and last) biracial monarch of African descent to ever reign in an European monarchy. A great many noble, aristocratic and princely bloodlines in Italy and Corsica nowadays can trace their limeage back to some of the daughters and great-descendants of Alessandro. Which includes the Bonaparte family, another family of Italian descent whose founder was equally alleged to be of African descent.
It's not proved that his mother was of African descent. It's a theory to explain his dark complex. Other authors have said that his mother was a Roman peasant woman. "University of Florence historian Giorgio Spini too, described this rumour as unfounded, instead tracing Alessandro's mother to a peasant from the Roman countryside who would later go on to marry a carrier from Lazio". Also, he wasn't a monarch, he was a duke. The first Medici "monarch" was Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
I really liked this video! Seemed to go a little more in depth than most videos on here👍 I do wish that Caterina Sforza had gotten a quick mention though
The coat of arms attributed to the Medici in the beginning looks like an exact replica of the coat of arms of the House of Courtenay, the English and French branch both use the same coat of arms
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.
Hi, I would love to watch a video about the Duke of Alba’s family tree. Their roots can be traced back to the Jacobite monarchy and medieval Castille. Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart,who died in 2014, was the most titled aristocrat in the world. Plenty of Europe’s history to talk about 😊
This channel, although magnificent, has a bias against Spain and almost everything related to it. I'm always surprised that, even though the subject has nothing to do with Spain, if someone is mentioned, they always find something horrible to tell about them, even if that person has managed to do outstanding achievements.
I could not hear so well how exactly Alexander de Medici was elevated to the rank of duke. Did Emperor Charles V grant him this title? Did the Holy Roman Empire regard the Italian city-states, including Florence with Tuscany, as if they were still at least theoretically part of the ancient Kingdom of Italy (regnum langobardorum)? Was there a feudal relationship between the Florentine Medici dukes and the emperor? And if so, how did this change with the granting of the title of Grand Duke of Tuscany by the Pope? Was the Grand Duchy of Tuscany now a vassal of the Papal States?
very good video friend I would like to see a future video talking about the family tree of the house Hohenzollern from the Kings of Prussia to the German Emperors Greetings from Brazil🇧🇷
@@ruyfernandez ah yes I understand but it would be cool an updated version like this video of the Medici Family because there was already a video about the Medici Family and Borgia. And in that old video is all the Kings of Prussia up to the German Emperors?
@@lucasdasilvahorst5280 yes, the old video has everything. There is also an even older video showing who are the claimants to the various german kingdoms today. However I agree it would be nice to get remakes of those old videos, and I think this is Matt's plan anyway.
@@ruyfernandez yes indeed I saw this older video of Who would be the German Emperor today in which of course the best claim is from Prince George Frederick of the Hohenzollern house as George Frederick I or Frederick IV German Emperor and King of Prussia
Great video and fascinating family history. You don’t mention why the Grand Duchy was given to Francis Stephen of Lorraine. My understanding is that it was a swap engineered by France, who was very interested in the Duchy of Lorraine on its doorstep (and didn’t want it to fall in Habsburg hands as Francis Stephen’s wife was the great Empress Maria Teresa). As France would have de facto ruled or inherited Tuscany (through all the family connections mentioned in the video), they forced the swap to “upgrade” Francis Stephen from Duke of Lorraine to Great Duke of Tuscany and then installed a puppet duke in Lorraine in the form of Stanislaw Leczinski, the former king of Poland and father of the Queen of France Maria, wife of Louis XV, which means that the French crown would inherit Lorraine ultimately anyway.
Habsburgs ruled Tuscany until mid nineteenth century until ousted by the Risorgimento. Tuscan grand dukes sometimes went on to become Holy Roman emperors as was the case with Leopold II brother of emperor Joseph II -both associated with Mozart.
Heir of Tuscany was future king Charles III of Spain. Well through both parents he was heir to many lands. He was great-great grandson of Margaret Medici, daughter of Cosimo II. Eldest daughter of Charles III, Maria Luisa married Peter Leopold Habsburg-Lorraine, future emperor Leopold II and second eldest son of emperor Francis. Their second eldest son Ferdinand created tuscan line of family.
@@kolomaznik333 I mentioned Mozart in my previous comment and Mozart's final opera "La Clemenza di Tito" was commissioned to celebrate the coronation in Prague of Leopold II and Maria Luisa. She was not a fan of German music(though La Clemenza was in Italian) as she preferred Italian composers. She is reported to have said after the performance that the opera was "porcaria tedesca" -which means "German crap."
Matt. Please is there any way you could do a video on debunking the Black Hebrew Israelites and them believing that the Israelites were Negroes. You have the academic resources of the artwork, and know scriptures and history. Anything you could put together would be helpful., Thank you for your time!
Great video but dissapointed that there was no proper mention (or any mention) of the most famous and influencial member of the family: Catherine of Medici. She practically ruled France for tens of years!…
Some of my ancestors on my Sicilian side that I have traced into the 1600s have the last name Medico or Medici I always wondered if we are distantly related to this family
@@CjqNslXUcM I also think so. However let me point out that there is a collateral branch that still exists today-the Medici of Ottajano-which was part of the Neapolitan and Duosicilian nobility.
Kinda sad that on Sforza family tree Bona Sforza (Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania) is not show, when queens of France and HR Empress are shown
I'm reading very good book abt Cartherine...descriptions of her hard life make my reading slow, very slow with often pauses...i have to digest part by part king, then his longlife mistress, then crowd, then "ladies" etc. THANK YOU THIS IS VERY USEFUL FOR ME I CAN'T EASY FIND WHO IS WHO IN BOOK THAT I READ
When in 1737 male line of grand ducal Medici line died out, there were other more distant Medici family lines. Some probably may exist today. BUT In 1737 the closet heir of Tuscany was king of Sicily and future king of Spain Charles III. Through his mother he was heir of duchy of Parma and also of Tuscany (he ruled Parma 1731-1734, until he became king of Sicily, which he inherited through his father (just like Spain in 1759). He was great-great grandson of Margaret Medici daughter of grand duke Cosimo II. Eventually Parma returned to family of his younger brother who founder line of Bourbon-Parma. When Charles became king of Spain he left Sicily for his third son who founder sicilian line of Bourbons. Emperor Francis and his heirs were not closest Medici relatives or heirs. But eldest daughter of Charles III, Maria Luisa married Peter Leopold Habsburg-Lorraine, future emperor Leopold II and second eldest son of emperor Francis. Peter Leopold inherited Tuscany after emperor Francis died. And first son of maria Luisa and Leopold was heir to imperial and royal domain while their second son Ferdinand inherited Tuscany and created tuscan line of family. So Ferdinand III of Tuscany was not only descendant of Habsburg emperors and kings but also of dukes of Lorraine, medici grand dukes of Tuscany, kings of France and Spain, kings of Sicily, dukes of Parma, dukes of Modena, dukes of Savoy, dukes of Milan from families of Visconti and Sforza, medieval margraves of Tuscany or medieval kings of Italy. Ancestors from whole Italy and Europe.
Two cases in which a simple "No" turned dramatically the wheel of history, but against the wish of who uttered it. #1 When Giulio de'Medici aka Pope Clemente VII answered to the request of King Henry VIII. #2 When King George III answered to the request of American Colonialists.
To say that Cosimo III did not let Marguerite Louise leave Tuscany is not wholly accurate. She was very reluctant to leave France but Cosimo III was never confined her to stay. That was more of Louis.
I shouldn't be such a homer, but wooooo! Mennonite Brethren got a mention. I'm descended from Quirin van der Meulen, one of Menno Simon's buddies. A bunch of Quirings and Goertzens (my family) went east to Poland and Ukraine. We came over to the US around 1870. My GG Gpa had 22 children between two wives, so my cousins are thick around Minnesota and Oregon. My DNA tests are quite a nest on 23andMe. Anyway, Mennonite Brethren on the west coast have pretty much become generic evangelicals, much to my chagrin. The peace doctrine is still officially a thing, but it gets ignored with a pat on the head. We should have kept our peace witness and gotten rid of things like male dominance and being moral scolds.
Uffizi Gallery wsn't constructed. Either you mean that the building of the offices was constructed or that the offices were later turned to the Gallery.
