Amid confusion after the death of Filippo Visconti Duke of Milan, his son-in-law Francesco Sforza met a Venetian offensive east of Milan at Caravaggio. Supported by Roberto Sanseverino, and Jacopo and Francesco Piccinino (sons of the famous Niccolo), Sforza won a decisive victory, which consolidated his position. He succeeded as Duke in 1450 after besieging Milan.
