Notes about Francesco de Medici

Francesco I de' Medici (Florence, 25 maart 1541 ? Poggio a Caiano, 19 oktober 1587) was de tweede groothertog van Toscane. Hij regeerde van 1574 tot 1587, maar nam als regent de taken van zijn vader reeds over in 1564.
Hij was de zoon van Cosimo I de' Medici, de eerste groothertog van Toscane, en Eleonora van Toledo, dochter van de Spaanse onderkoning van Napels, Don Pedro Álvarez de Toledo.
Huwelijk en kinderen
Francesco trouwde op 18 december 1565 met Johanna van Oostenrijk (24 januari 1548 ? 10 april 1578), de dochter van keizer Ferdinand I en Anna van Bohemen. Uit het huwelijk met Johanna zijn de volgende kinderen voortgekomen:
Eleonora (1 maart 1566 ? 9 september 1611), zij trouwde met Vincenzo I Gonzaga, hertog van Mantua (1582-1612)
Romola (20 november 1568 ? 2 december 1568)
Anna (31 december 1569 ? 19 februari 1584)
Isabella (30 september 1571 ? 8 augustus 1572)
Lucrezia (7 november 1572 ? 14 augustus 1574)
Maria (26 april 1573 ? 3 juli 1642), koningin van Frankrijk, op 17 december 1600 getrouwd met Hendrik IV van Frankrijk
Filippo (20 mei 1577 ? 29 maart 1582), vernoemd naar zijn peetoom Filips II van Spanje
Na het overlijden van Johanna in 1578 hertrouwde Francesco met zijn maîtresse, de Venetiaanse Bianca Cappello, wier zoon Antonio (29 augustus 1576 ? 2 mei 1621) door hem werd geadopteerd. Toen Francesco's ziekelijke zoon Filippo op jeugdige leeftijdoverleed, benoemde hij ? met goedkeuring van de koning van Spanje ? in 1583 zijn geadopteerde zoon Antonio als troonopvolger.
Francesco I de' Medici ligt begraven in de Cappelle Medicee, een kapel van de Basilica San Lorenzo in Florence. Na zijn dood in 1587 werd Francesco echter opgevolgd door zijn jongere broer Ferdinando I de' Medici, die de benoeming van zijn neefje ongedaan maakte.
