Giulio di Alessandro de' Medici
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giulio de' Medici (between 1533 to 1537 [1] - 1600) was the illegitimate son of Alessandro de' Medici, the Duke of Florence.
Aged no more than four at the time of his father's assassination, he was passed over as a choice for the succession in favour of Cosimo I de' Medici, the first of the "junior" branch of the Medici to rule Florence.
Together with his sister, Giulia, their descendants include most of the royal houses of Europe.
