Pope Leo X (Tudor Line)

Giovanni de Medici was born in Florence on 11 December 1475 to Lorenzo de Medici and Clarice Orsini. His family was expeled from Florence during a revolution against the Medici, with help of his tutor Pope Julius II and his army he went back towards Florence. Then Julius died and he as cardinal had to go back to Rome. In 1513 he was elected as pope. He was a spending pope, the coffers were empty by 1514, his cousin Giulio was meanwhile selling the royal jewels, he turned to the only way to make money possible to him and him alone. He started selling indulgenes for those who donated money, this made Martin Luther to publish his 95 Theses. In 1521 he executed him and soon Lutherans took to arms and the Protestant Wars began. He however died in the same year and was succeded by Adriaan Boeyens in an almost 100% vote, even Giulio elected him.
