Duke's Assassin

Stefano Dall'Aglio, Donald Weinstein

In 1548, the notorious Lorenzino de' Medici was killed in Venice in revenge for murdering his cousin the Duke of Florence in 1537. The book reconstructs the events surrounding the Medici, the factions, the loyalists and republican exiles, and reveals that behind the vengeance was Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, the victim's ally and father-in-law.--
