After Gerhardo Appiani of Pombio murdered Piero Gambacorti to seize Pisa (1392), he sold it to the Dukes of Milan (1400), who traded it to Florence (1405). The humiliated people of the city rose in revolt, but they were starved into surrender after a terrible six-month siege. The once-powerful Maritime Republic lost its independence apart from a brief period under Charles VIII.
