# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in March 1541 into the House of Medici, Francesco inherited the grand duchy in 1574 after his father established the title. He ruled Tuscany through the late Renaissance, a period when the family's influence stretched far beyond Florence's walls. His tenure lasted until October 1587, when he died at forty-six—leaving the dukedom to pass once more within the dynasty that had shaped the region for generations.
