Piero de' Medici

Piero de' Medici (February 15, 1472 – December 28, 1503) was the son of Lorenzo de' Medici and Gran maestro of Florence from 1492 until 1494.

In 1494, Piero de' Medici was exiled by Girolamo Savonarola, who had gained control over Florence using the Apple of Eden. Piero fled to Venice, where Savonarola's supporters were also attempting to spread Savonarola's influence. Piero stood up to one of these Heralds, causing a fight between him and Savonarola's supporters. Piero was aided by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an friend of his late father, and saved the latter from being killed by the Herald. They quickley parted ways again when Ezio went to Florence to take down Savonarola's rule.
