May 29, 1568: Virginia de' Medici, Duchess of Modena and Reggio, was born in Florence to Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and his mistress Camilla Martelli. She was legitimized in 1570 after her father married her mother, and she married Cesare d'Este, Duke of Modena, in 1586. They had ten children together, but the marriage was made unhappy by Cesare's many infidelities, leaving Virginia to suffer bouts of depression. Nevertheless, she coped with her motherly duties and showed herself as a clever and far-sighted ruler when she took the position of Regent during the absence of her husband.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
