Medici, Volume 2

by G. F. Young

This second volume of G. F. Young's Medici trilogy focuses on the younger branch of the family, from the mid-16th century to their extinction in the 18th century. It highlights Catherine de' Medici, the last of the elder branch, and follows the rise and fall of the family's power and influence in Florence and beyond. Young explores the family's complex relationships, their patronage of the arts, and their role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of Europe.
