When Gian Galeazzo Visconti of Milan sent Jacopo Dal Verme against Florence and Bologna, he was met at Castellazzo, near Alessandria, by English mercenary Sir John Hawkwood and Jean III Count of Armagnac, who crossed the alps to aid his allies. The massive French army was routed, with Armagnac killed, and the Visconti family effectively secured most of northern Italy.
