> the medicis were a banking family from florence. there were a couple of marriages of medici women into french royalty in the 1500s correct. it's hard to research them as they are hiding their line as well as they are hiding merovingian and carolingian lines. i would guess medici women intermarrried with merovingians or carolingian men and formed the first euro banking empire.  > you could safely say they own largest french banks like bnp paribas > bnp paribas is "public", probably a few massive private investors own .it.    aribas
