France, Paris, June 7, 1597 Dimensions: 297 x 200 mm. The de Gondi family was a family of notables and nobles of Italian origin from Florence. It gave Italy Grand Priors and members of the Grand Council of the Republic of Florence, ambassadors to Rome and Spain, and bankers. The Gondi family had numerous alliances and descendants in the influential Italian families of the Renaissance, notably the Medici and the Salviati. Two important branches of the family became French, and their members entered the French nobility: the Retz branch and the Codun branch. The present Jérôme de Gondi is also known as Giròlamo Gondi (circa 1550 in Valencia - 1604): he settled in France, where he became a banker in Lyon, and was made knight of honor by Marie de Médicis and baron de Codun. He was also ambassador to Rome. This document bears witness to the loans made by the King of France to bankers in his kingdom, such as Jérôme de Gondi.
