Pope Clement VII, himself a Medici, appointed his relative Alessandro de' Medici as the first "Duke of the Florentine Republic", thereby transforming the Republic into a hereditary monarchy. The second duke, Cosimo I, established a strong Florentine navy and expanded his territory, conquering Siena.
Alessandro (born 1510/11, Florence [Italy]—died January 5–6, 1537, Florence) was the first duke of Florence (1532–37). Alessandro was born to unmarried parents. His paternity is ascribed either to Lorenzo de’ Medici (1492–1519), duke of Urbino, or, with more likelihood, to Giulio de’ Medici, nephew of Lorenzo the Magnificent.
