When he entered Florence on the 24th April, 1536. Dur- ing the seven days he passed in the Palazzo Medici grand entertainments were given ; but old Varchi complains that, unlike other Emperors, he bestowed no privileges on the city and left no memorial of his visit. The old palace witnessed yet grander festivals on the 19th June, for the marriage of the Duke Alessandro with Margaret of Austria, the illegitimate daughter of Charles V. She came from Naples, accompanied by the Vice-queen, the Gran...d Peni- tentiary Cardinal of Santi Quattro and the Cardinal Cibo. After the marriage service in S. Lorenzo there was a grand banquet, to which all the Florentine nobility were invited, and then dancing; followed by a comedy and a sham fight by torchlight on the Piazza S. Lorenzo.
The young Duchess, according to a contemporary chronicler, was very happy, " for the Duke paid her great court and she knew not that he paid even more to other women of all grades. " Banquets, masked balls and comedies, were given in the old palace, and one of the constant guests was a cousin of the Duke's, a descend- ant of the younger branch of the Medici family, called Lorenzo.
