The Medici family came from the agricultural Mugello region, north of Florence, being mentioned for the first time in a document of 1230.

Until the late 14th century, prior to the Medici, Florence's leading family were the House of Albizzi. In 1293 the Ordinances of Justice were enacted which effectively became the constitution of the republic of Florence throughout the Italian Renaissance.

The main challengers of the Albizzi family were the Medicis, first under Gioavanni de' Medici, later under his son Cosimo di Giovanni de' Medici. The Medici controlled the Medici bank and an array of other enterprises in Florence and elsewhere. In 1433, the Albizzi managed to have Cosimo exiled.

The Medici family was connected to most other elite families of the time through marriages of convenience, partnerships, or employment, as a result of which the Medici family had a central position in the social network: several families had systematic access to the rest of the elite families only through the Medici, perhaps similar to banking relationships,

Historic periods as Modern History have to be written in Capital Letters!

Be careful!

Good job.

You've done a good job Erick. Maybe you could have sinthetised the cultural part, but besides this, everything is more than correct. Congratulations!
