Talk:List of political families

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Brazilian presidents

According to Presidentes do Brasil (São Paulo: Cultura Editores, 2002), Venceslau Brás Pereira Gomes and Delfim Moreira were cousins (see pages 191 and 206). I am trying to discern whether they were first cousins or whether it was a more distant kinship.

[edit] Italy. The Medici family

I removed the voice dedicated to the Medici family, which was only one of ancient reigning family in Italy, such as the Gonzagas of Mantua, the Estes of Ferrara, the Viscontis and the Sforzas of Milan and so on. I notice it was focused over papacy, but with wrong links: this family had twoo popes: Giovanni (Leo X), son of Lorenzo, (unofficial) Sov. Lord of Florence and Giulio (Clemens VII), son of Giuliano, Lorenzo's brother and himself an unofficial sov. Lord of Florence. Alessandro was the first Sov. Duke of Florence, not a pope. He was son of Lorenzo II and son-in-law of Roman Emperor Carl V. You could include this voice in Pope's State/Vatican City, not Italy. By the way there was a larger family of related Popes deriving by Senator Teofilatto and his daughter Marozia around the year 1000.
