Italian Campaign Of 1524–1525
The Italian campaign of 1524–1525 was the final significant action of the Italian War of 1521–1526 launched by the French into Northern Italy. Led by Francis I of France, the French attempted to dislodge the House of Habsburg, Habsburgs from Italy in an attempt to control Italy for themselves. After the French invaded Lombardy, the campaign would then primarily consist of the French attempt to capture the city of Milan. However, after Francis's defeat at the Battle of Pavia, Siege of Pavia, the French were driven out of Italy and Francis was taken prisoner.
