	Ludovico Sforza - Encyclopedia.com

		Ludovico's attempt, with the aid of Swiss mercenaries, to recover his lands was defeated at Novara (1500); he was captured and died a prisoner in France.

	The Borgias by Alexandre Dumas: CHAPTER X
		Seeing the rapidity of this conquest and their numerous victories, Ludovico Sforza, despairing of holding out in his capital, resolved to retire to Germany, with his children, his brother, Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, and his treasure, which had been reduced in the course of eight years from 1,500,000 to 200,000 ducats.
		The lords in question were the Malatesti of Rimini, the Sforza of Pesaro, the Manfredi of Faenza, the Riarii of Imola and Farli, the Variani of Camerina, the Montefeltri of Urbino, and the Caetani of Sermoneta.
		This proposition was barely plausible; far Sforza was short and, by this time an old man, and he could not possibly escape recognition in the midst of an army where the oldest was not past thirty and the shortest not less than five foot six.

	Sforza
		Ludovico Sforza was a devious man, seizing power in Milan from his adolescent nephew and arranging the execution of his nephew’s chief minister.
		Not only was Ludovico only the regent for his nephew (whose mother he had effectively banished), he was also merely descended from a contract warrior, not a duke.
		Ludovico Sforza required similar nodes of power if he was to maintain and build a clientele in Milan and develop relationships with foreign courts (upon whose aid his safety might have depended).

		Ludovico decided to remove this threat by the efforts of Charles VIII, who had a claim to Naples through the Angevin line.
		Ludovico, realizing that Charles had a claim to Milan as well, and would likely not be sated with the annexation of Naples alone, turned to the Papacy; Alexander proceeded to construct the League of Venice, including himself, Milan, the Republic of Venice, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, and Ferdinand I of Spain.
