First-hand information as remembered by Sir William Arbuthnot, Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Replace this citation if there is another source. Vanna Arrighi - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani - Volume 71 (2008) Nonostante il ritiro a vita privata, Cosimo non aveva deposto l’ambizione politica e dinastica e proprio in quel periodo stava trattando con il pontefice Pio V per ottenere il titolo di granduca. Sembra che nei colloqui confidenziali che precedettero l’incoronazione, fissata a Roma il 5 marzo 1570, il pontefice insistette molto con Cosimo perché interrompesse il concubinato, ma il duca rifiutò. Gli fu allora ingiunto di regolarizzare l’unione mediante legittimo matrimonio e pertanto, una volta tornato a Firenze, il 29 marzo 1570, fu celebrato il matrimonio in forma strettamente privata, alla presenza dei genitori della M. e del confessore di Cosimo I, che officiò la cerimonia.
