[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] Yazid is correct about the Medicis of Italy. There was a thread started on this before about one of the Medici men marrying a black North African woman and had a son. Of course the Hore went nuts over this and insisted that the boy was still European because of his culture. [QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Classroom/9912/fmedici.jpg[/IMG] [i]Pictured here is Allesandro De Medici, the Duke of Florence who lived from 1510-1534, [b]son of an African woman and Cardinal Giulio de Medici[/b] who later became none other than Pope Clement VII. On being elected Pope in 1523, Cardinal Giulio was forced to relinquish the lordship of Florence but he appointed a regent for his thirteen year old son Alessandro who had just been created Duke of Penna, and a nephew, Ipollito. Historian Mario de Valdes y Cocom Alessandro states that Allesandro wielded great power as the first duke of Florence. He was the patron of some of the leading artists of the era and is one of the two Medici princes whose remains are buried in the famous tomb by Michaelangelo. As Cocom states, [b]"The ethnic make up of this Medici Prince makes him the first black head of state in the modern western world."[/b][/i]-Mario de Valdes y Cocom) [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Interesting [/QB][/QUOTE]
