Everything about Giovanni Paolo I Sforza totally explained
Giovanni Paolo I Sforza (March
1497 -
December 1535) was an
Italian condottiero, the first in the Sforza family line of the Marquesses of
Caravaggio.
He was a legimitated son of
Ludovico il Moro,
duke of Milan, and Lucrezia Crivelli. In
1513, when his brother
Massimiliano shortly restored the family seignory in Milan, he took part in the defence of
Novara against the
French. When his other brother
Francesco II made a similar attempt (1525), Giovanni Paolo was besieged in the
Castello Sforzesco by the Spaniards under
Antonio de Leyva; three years later he was agained besieged by them in
Lodi, this time with victorious results.
In
1532, after the peace of Bologna between Francesco and
Charles V of Spain, he received in reward the title of marquess of Caravaggio. Three years later, after Francesco's death, he moved to the
Kingdom of Naples (then under Spanish suzerainty) to reclaim the Duchy of Milan for him, but died midway at
Florence under mysterious circumstances. Some sources says that he was poisoned by de Leyva.
He was married with Violante
Bentivoglio. His son
Muzio I Sforza succeeded him in Caravaggio and in the county of Galliate.
