Averardo de' Medici (1320-1363) was the son of Chiarissimo de' Medici (died 1346) and the father of three children: Giovanni, Francesco, and Antonia. Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici would later become the first historically relevant member of Medici family of Florence and the eventual founder of the Medici bank. He was named after the legendary knight Averardo, from whom the Medici claimed descent.
