Of the House of Medici, of the duchy of Urbino.
1529. For the past three years, war raged on and on endlessly. Pope Clement VII, also known as Guilio de' Medici, has decided to drive Charles V from Italian soil, and his request for assistance was provided from everywhere. In the beginning of the trouble, Romolo was reluctant to join a war, preferring instead to stay in peace. While everyone else was preparing for war, Lucrezia found herself pregnant again, though this one was much harder than the previous ones. A few months into her pregnancy, she suffered a fall, and while she broke no bones, kept on crying and complaining that her stomach is hurting. She feared greatly that her unborn child was injured; in a while she was proved right. Lucrezia suffered a miscarriage and mourned it greatly.
Before she even recovered from her miscarriage, a startling attack pounced on Urbino. Charles V's forces, having been pushed every way, decided to take on Urbino and attacked in a sudden ambush. The people were not expecting an attack and was defeated quite badly, and though they managed to defend themselves adequately, were shocked and furious. They refused to face a war sitting down under threat of death. Romolo gave in and joined the League of Cognac, along with France, the Pope, England, the Duchy of Venice, and the Republic of Florence.
For three years a difficult war was fought. In 1527, Rome was attacked and sacked, leaving the Pope practically out of the war, making the situation more and more difficult. Finally, after three years of bitter war, a treaty was signed, ending the situation at last. Romolo returned to Urbino with his men, having lost many faithful soldiers, but neither bettered nor at worse ends for the most part.
After the war ended and Urbino began to recover slowly, Lucrezia once again got pregnant. She was very frightened at first, still traumatised by her miscarriage, but to her relief the pregnancy was kept smoothly this time. She bore a daughter, named Vittoria (a bit optimistically, since Urbino was technically hindered instead of helped by the war) Alessandra (after Alessandro de' Medici, the new leader of Florence) Giulia (after the Pope's real name).
