Born into the House of Medici in Florence on 2 June 1535, Alessandro di Ottaviano de' Medici climbed through the Church's diplomatic ranks: Florence's ambassador to the pope, Bishop of Pistoia, Archbishop of Florence, then papal legate to France and cardinal Prefect for the Congregation of Bishops and Regulars. In the March 1605 conclave, at almost seventy, he was elected pope and took the name Leo XI on 1 April. The fever struck almost immediately. He died on 27 April 1605, twenty-seven days in.
