Battle of Valmontone Between Rival Italian Condottieri
1425
Braccio da Montone, the most feared mercenary in Italy, died in an inconclusive clash against forces loyal to Naples. His death rebalanced the peninsula's mercenary market and left the Sforza clan as the dominant military brokers, a position that would put them on the throne of Milan a generation later.
