By Catherine Johnson.

Alessandro de Medici, known as The Moor, was the first hereditary Medici duke. He was popular with the Florentine people but his cousins Ippolito and Lorenzino never forgave him for taking up what they felt was Ippolito's birth right. It was only a matter of time before the assassination attempts would succeed. Alessandro was murdered in somebody else's bed, aged 26.
