Question

Which of the following statements about Lorenzo de' Medici is correct?
Through his money and family connections, he effectively ruled Florence in the 15th century.
He was a patron of scholars, as well as artists such as Leonardo and Michaelangelo.
A pope plotted to assassinate him, but he lived and paid for his son, the future Pope Leo X, to be appointed a cardinal in the church.
All of the answers are correct.

Answer 1

"All of the answers are correct," would be the correct response, since the Medici family was indeed the ruling class in this region during the Renaissance, and were responsible for the patronage of a wide variety of artists and scholars. Their heavy influence indeed made the Pope and other very jealous.
