A recent rereading of the book The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici got me wondering, what if Clement VII De Medici had had a change of heart and dressed Alessandro de Medici in cardinal's skirts instead of his cousin, Ippolito, who becomes duke of Florence, maybe even marries Caterina de Medici, heiress to the duchy of Urbino. What could be the effects of this switch?
