The Battle of Pavia took place on 24 February 1525 in northern Italy. Its outcome had a profound impact on the course of European foreign policy for the rest of the 16th century. King Francis I of France led his troops into battle and was captured amid the greatest slaughter of French nobles since Agincourt. This book examines the early reigns of Francis, his great rival Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and a number of their contemporaries. It shows why warfare was such an important aspect of kingship at this time and how it interacted with diplomacy. The book then examines how Francis I's siege of the city of Pavia turned into an open battle, why the King of France fought in person, and what important events took place during the battle. It highlights Francis' time as a prisoner in Spain and traces the complexity of international relations that led to further wars in the following decades, involving kingdoms as diverse as Scotland, Tunisia, Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. The book shows why the Battle of Pavia was one of the most important military conflicts in the history of the European Renaissance.
