[[Guidobaldo da Montefeltro]] adopted [[Francesco Maria I della Rovere]], his sister's child and nephew of [[Pope Julius II]]. Guidobaldo I, who was heirless, called Francesco Maria at his court, and named him as heir of the [[Duchy of Urbino]] in 1504, this through the intercession of Julius II. In 1508, Francesco Maria inherited the duchy thereby starting the line of Rovere Dukes of Urbino. That dynasty ended in 1626 when [[Pope Urban VIII]] incorporated Urbino into the [[papal dominions]]. As compensation to the last sovereign duke, the title only could be continued by [[Francesco Maria II della Rovere|Francesco Maria II]], and after his death by his heir, [[Federico Ubaldo della Rovere|Federico Ubaldo]]. | [[Guidobaldo da Montefeltro]] adopted [[Francesco Maria I della Rovere]], his sister's child and nephew of [[Pope Julius II]].
