Duke Filippo Maria Visconti of Milan intervened in Swiss politics and attempted to seize the city of Bellinzona near Lake Maggiore. At nearby Arbedo, Swiss halberdiers and pikemen were defeated by Milanese cavalry under the soldier of fortune Francesco Bussone (known as the Count Carmagnola), and Bellinzona was given up by treaty.
