Lorenzo III abruptly succeeded to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Italy in AH 1439/AD 2018, when his father Cosimo III was killed by Maria Conti, an Aquinist suicide bomber. Hotheaded and untrained for his eventual role, Lorenzo's first mistake was to organize a spectacular public funeral for his father. Lorenzo sent his brother Giuseppe away from the funeral as a designated survivor, his sole concession to saner advice that the event provided Aquinists with a huge target. Indeed, terrorists attacked the procession and killed a few international dignitaries and several innocent bystanders, and wounding many more. (In fact, many were hit by bullets from Lorenzo's and other VIPs' bodyguards returning fire.)
