ep. 4 The Rise and Fall (And Rise Again!) of the Medici Family (1400 - 1500 CE)
The Medici rose from an obscure clan of suckups to become the dominant family in Florence, pulling the strings and becoming secret dictators of the Banker’s Republic. Guile, cunning, a little bit of luck, and a lot of finance shenanigans. They were sponsors of the Renaissance, or so they claimed…But not every heir is a winner.
