The Condottiere Muzio Attendolo Sforza campaigned on behalf of Naples against Aragon, attacking his rival Braccio da Montone at Aquila, in Abruzzi. After Sforza was drowned crossing the Pescara River (4 January), his son Francesco besieged Aquila, where Montone was defeated and killed. Twenty years later, Francesco Sforza seized Milan and established a dynasty.
