The city of Florence was threatened by the growing power of Gian Galeazzo Visconti Duke of Milan and sought help from the newly elected Rupert III of Germany, who had replaced Visconti’s former ally, the deposed King Wenceslas. Rupert marched into Italy, but near Brescia he was heavily defeated by the Milanese and was forced back to Germany.
