Clement VII

Pope Clement VII (born Giulio di Giuliano de' Medici; 1478 – 1534) was Pope from 1523 to his death. He also ruled the Republic of Florence under the title of gran maestro from 1519 to 1523.
==Biography==
Giulio was born to Fioretta Gorini a month after the death of his father, Giuliano de' Medici, during the Pazzi conspiracy. He was considered legitimate because of a loophole in Canon law allowing marriages to occur privately between two people. This meant that his parents could have agreed to have married without informing anyone about it.Assassin's Creed II – Database: Giuliano de' Medici
In 1523, Giulio was made Pope Clement VII. During the sack of Rome in 1527, Clement was taken prisoner in the Castel Sant'Angelo. However, he was able to escape disguised as a tradesman. Clement died in 1534, and was alleged to have been poisoned with mushrooms.Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy
