I... somehow COMPLETELY glossed over the part where you mentioned Alessandro's mom was a Nubian slave in your Margaret of Parma writeup, and when I read the article I was like WHAT?? (I am just... very good at eliding over things I don't expect, I guess! Also if I'd been reading your writeup more carefully I would have been like... whaaaaat happened there with Charles and Clement??)
That article sure is a lot more positive about him than the Margaret bio you read, though :P Interested to see what the Alessandro bio says, when you get around to it! (And like mildred says, no hurry, this reading list is... quite long... :) )
