<u>Explanation</u>:
“The Medici” was the first dynasty which had won their status not by fighting a war or inheritance, but they succeeded in commerce. The Medici family is also referred as the 'House of Medici'. In the 13th century, both in trade and finance, they gained money and political influence in Florence.
Cosimo de' Medici was the first ruler of Florence from Medici family. In 1433, he was arrested by a rival group. But he was saved from death punishment by his family and friends. But, he was exiled for ten years. He went to Venice and controlled a political party of France as he wanted to work for his return. Within a year, Florence people invited him back. Because he had bought the favour of 'Bernardo Guadagni', for about $25,000.
