Italian Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although the League destroyed much of the Venetian army at the battle of Agnadello in 1509, it failed to capture Padua, and in 1510, Julius, now regarding France as a greater threat, left the League and allied himself with Venice. |
 | | However, the death of Julius left the League without effective leadership, and when Louis' successor, Francis I, defeated the Swiss at Marignano in 1515, the League collapsed, and by the treaties of Noyon and Brussels, surrendered to France and Venice the entirety of northern Italy. |
 | | In 1526, Pope Clement VII, alarmed at the growing power of the Empire, formed the League of Cognac against Charles, allying himself, the Republic of Venice, Florence, and a number of smaller Italian states with France. |
