Leo X (1475–1521), Pope from 1513. Giovanni de' Medici was the second son of Lorenzo ‘the Magnificent’. The high hopes placed on him when he was elected were soon disappointed. He squandered the fortune left by
Julius II, and his concern for the independence of the Papal states led him to pursue a shifting political course. He failed to understand what was involved in the revolt of M.
Luther, whom he excommunicated in 1520.
