Averardo de' Medici
Averardo de' Medici, also known as Everard De Medici or Bicci to disambiguate with his two homonymous ancestors, was the son of Salvestro de' Medici, "il Chiarissimo" and the father of three children: Giovanni, Francesco, and Antonia. Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici would become the first historically significant member of the Medici family of Florence and the founder of the Medici Bank.
He was named after the legendary knight Averardo, from whom the Medici claimed descent. He was a second cousin of Salvestro de' Medici.Children
