Manfredo Soderini

Manfredo Soderini (? - 1498) was a Florentine nobleman and the husband of Cristina Vespucci.

Biography
By 1478, Manfredo was engaged to Cristina, whose father kept asking her to choose somebody to marry. While Cristina deeply loved Ezio Auditore da Firenze, she had not seen him in two years and instead chose Manfredo. Manfredo, however, was a gambler and fell into debt. The man he was indebted to cornered Manfredo at the end of a bridge under construction. Ezio Auditore, who had come to visit Cristina, rescued Manfredo and threatened to kill him with his own hands should he not be a good husband to Cristina.

In 1498, Manfredo and Cristina were attacked by the men of Girolamo Savonarola. Ezio Auditore once again encountered Manfredo, who was dying. With his last breath, he told Ezio that Cristina was being chased and attacked by Savonarola's guards.
