Galeotto II Pico della Mirandola

He was the son of Ludovico I Pico, who died in 1509 and Francesca Trivulzio and grew up under the tutelage of his mother, who ruled the state in his name until 1511.

He learned from it the hatred of his uncle Gianfrancesco II Pico, lord of Mirandola.

Then Emperor Charles V sent his commissioners to Mirandola, inviting Galeotto to hand over the State, but he refused and was therefore sentenced to death.

But not even the sending of the general Antonio de Leyva succeeded in moving Galeotto.

He was the father of Silvia Pico della Mirandola and Fulvia Pico della Mirandola, who married the brothers François III de La Rochefoucauld, Prince of Marcillac, Count of Roucy and Baron of Verteuil, and Charles de La Rochefoucauld, Comte de Randan, in a double marriage of siblings.
