Background and detail

Loss of Milan. Although Foix initially checked Spanish advances near Milan, his logistical and strategic position deteriorated. He was outmaneuvered by Colonna's forces while a gathering Anti-French uprising within the city walls intensified. Consequently, Foix was driven out of Milan in late November 1521.
