Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to put a member or descendant of the House of Medici on the thrones of say England, France, Scotland, or one of the Iberian countries, for as long as possible.
Ever since I show the PBS Empires Special "The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance" the Medici have been something of a pet dynasty of mine and historically they've been successful with a couple of popes, queen consort and regent of France, and a duchy, but what would it take for their to be a branch of the Medici family on a royal throne.
I think it would have to be a throne that allows for females to inherit and having a male member of the dynasty marry a queen, probably during the dynasty's peak in the early-to-mid-1500s. Anybody have any ideas on specifics or scenarios?
