	Lorenzo de' Medici - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici (January 1, 1449, Florence– 8 April 1492) was an Italian statesman and ruler of the Florentine Republic during the Italian Renaissance.
		Lorenzo's father Piero Piero 'the Gouty' de' Medici was also at the center of Florentine life, and extremely active as a patron and collector.
		His grandfather, Cosimo de Medici, became the first of the Medici to combine running the bank with leading the Republic in both government and philanthropy, spending an enormous portion of his fortune (he was one of the wealthiest men in Europe) on art and public works.

		Zavala condemned the action stating: "a government that takes orders from armed masses is no longer a body politic." He further extended his protest by helping Santa Anna compose a letter, addressed to Burnet, denouncing his treatment at the hands of the mob.

	Handbook of Texas Online: ZAVALA, LORENZO DE
		Zavala was appointed, on May 27, 1836, one of the peace commissioners to accompany Santa Anna to Mexico City, where the general was to attempt to persuade the Mexican authorities to recognize the independence of Texas.
		In the twenty-five years after 1807 when Zavala became politically active, he demonstrated his skills as a writer in uncounted articles and editorials in newspapers in Mérida and Mexico City, and in a large number of pamphlets and memorials.
		His support of democratic reforms led to his imprisonment in 1814 in the fortress of San Juan de Ulloa in the harbor of Veracruz, where he gained enough knowledge from reading medical textbooks to qualify him to practice medicine upon his release from prison in 1817.
