Early life and ancestry Edit

Born in Florence into the House of Medici, Claudia was the youngest daughter of Ferdinando I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany and his wife, Christina of Lorraine.[1] She was named after her grandmother Claude of Valois, herself granddaughter of Claude, Duchess of Brittany, consort to King Francis I of France.

Biography Edit

Duchess of Urbino Edit

In 1620, she married Federico Ubaldo della Rovere, the only son of Francesco Maria II della Rovere, Duke of Urbino.[2] Their only child, Vittoria, went on to marry the Grand Duke of Tuscany.[2] Federico Ubaldo della Rovere died suddenly on 29 June 1623.[3]

Archduchess of Tyrol Edit

After her husband's premature death, she was married, on 19 April 1626, to Leopold V, Archduke of Austria, and thus became Archduchess consort of Austria.[4]

Regent of Tyrol Edit

On the death of her husband in 1632, she assumed a regency in the name of her son Ferdinand Charles who was the ruler of the Princely County of Tyrol. Claudia, along with five directors, held the post until 1646. She died at Innsbruck in 1648.[5]

Issue Edit

She had one child by Federico Ubaldo della Rovere:

  1. Vittoria della Rovere (1622–1694) married Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany,[2]
