Fornovo, 1495 - Nicolle David
In the year 1495, Charles VIII was the youthful King of France, the most powerful state in medieval Europe. As a base for his crusade he was determined to seize southern Italy. A dreamer who saw himself as the saviour of Christian Europe, he believed he could roll back the ever-spreading tide of Ottoman Turkish conquest.
The Italian states rallied and at Fornovo their alliance, the League of Venice, fought Charles' army to a standstill. In a lightning campaign he used France's modern army to sweep through Italy, his mobile field artillery train smashing into dust the tall towers of Italy's medieval castles.
