  Battle of Novara (1513) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Novara was a battle of the War of the League of Cambrai fought on June 6, 1513, near Novara, in Northern Italy.
The battle was particularly bloody, with 5,000 casualties on the French side, and moderate losses for the Swiss pikemen, mostly suffered from the French artillery as the Swiss moved into the attack.
Nevertheless, the battle is sometimes presented as one between the French and the Milanese.

 Battle of Agnadello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Agnadello was the one of the more significant battles of the War of the League of Cambrai, and one of the major battles of the Italian Wars.
On April 15, 1509, a French army under the command of Louis XII left Milan and invaded Venetian territory.
Although Pitigliano had avoided engaging the French directly, news of the battle reached him by that evening, and the majority of his forces had deserted by morning.

 Battle of Marignano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Marignano, in the phase of the Italian Wars (1494–1559) that is called the "War of the League of Cambrai", was a victory for French forces that took place on 13 and 14 September 1515, at a location, today called Melegnano, 16 km south east of Milan.
The bloody battle of Marignano was fought to retake control of the duchy of Milan, the French gate to Italy.
The battle lasted more than 24 hours, a brutal and bloody engagement quite unlike either the courteous feinting of the condottieri of the previous century, or the orderly and schematic presentation in the memorial painting (upper right).

In 1508, war resumed in Italy, this time against Venice, which all the other powers on the peninsula, including Louis XII, Ferdinand, Maximilian, and Pope Julius II joined together against as the League of Cambrai.
Although the French were victorious against Venice at the Battle of Agnadello, the League soon fell apart, as both the Pope and Ferdinand became suspicious of French intentions.
Instead, the Holy League was formed, in which now all the powers joined together against France.
