Page "Braccio da Montone" Paragraph 3

He began his military career as a page in Guido d ' Asciano ’ s company.

When his family was exiled from Perugia and he lost the castle of Montone, he entered Alberico da Barbiano ’ s " Company of St. George ", in which he would make friends with Muzio Attendolo Sforza.

At the head of 150 knights, Braccio performed some guerrilla actions which foreshadowed the tactics that his own company would later adopt.
