Francesco II Sforza
Francesco II Sforza was Duke of Milan from 1521 until his death. He became duke after Emperor Charles V reconquered Milan from the French. He fought at the Battle of Bicocca against the French, but in 1526 joined the League of Cognac with Francis I of France. Surviving a poisoning, he married Christina of Denmark, but died childless. He was the last member of the Sforza family to rule Milan.
