Catherine was the daughter of Lorenzo Il de Medici, the Duke of Urbino, and
Madeleine de la Tour dAuvergne, a French Bourbon Princess. Catherine was
orphaned by both parents before she was a month old.
There were no close relatives whom to care for the infant. In the end, her
fathers distant relative, Cardinal Guilio de' Medici (the future pope Clement
VII), became her guardian, as well the head of the government of Florence.
