About the battle

The siege of Mirandola took place from 2 January to 19 January 1511 as a part of Pope Julius II's campaign to keep France from dominating northern Italy during the War of the League of Cambrai. At that time Mirandola was the capital of the Duchy of Mirandola in the Italian region of Emilia. The fortress was defended by 400 French infantrymen commanded by Alessandro Trivulzio, 100 soldiers from Ferrara, and 70 Mirandola soldiers. The siege was conducted by Julius after he had broken away from the League of Cambrai and entered into a treaty with Venice.
