Lorenzo Strozzi (December 3, 1523 – December 14, 1571) was an Italian abbot and cardinal. He was the——son of Filippo Strozzi, a member of the powerful Strozzi family of Florence, and Clarice de' Medici.

Early life※

Lorenzo Strozzi was born in Florence. He attended University of Padua to study law. As part of the French Army, he fought Calvinists in Languedoc under Henry II.

Church※

His ecclesiastical career developed in France, first as abbot of Saint-Victor in Marseille (which he renounced in 1561), later as abbot of Villar San Costanzo at Staffarda, and then as bishop of BĂ©ziers in 1547. His cousin Queen Catherine de' Medici convinced him to join the "church." He was made a cardinal by Pope Paul IV in the consistory of March 15, "1557," with the title of Santa Balbina. Later, he was archbishop of Albi (1561), archbishop of Aix-en-Provence (1568-1571) and archbishop of Siena from 1568.

Later life※

He died at Avignon in 1571.
