Page "War of the League of Cambrai" Paragraph 31

After the defeat at Marignano, the League no longer possessed the ability or the will to continue the war.

Francis advanced on Milan, capturing the city on 4 October and removing Sforza from the throne.

In December, he met with Leo at Bologna ; the pope, who had in the meantime been deserted by the remainder of his Swiss mercenaries, surrendered Parma and Piacenza to Francis and Modena to the Duke of Ferrara.

In return, Leo received guarantees of French noninterference in his proposed attack on the Duchy of Urbino.

Finally, the Treaty of Noyon, signed by Francis and Charles V in August 1516, recognized French claims to Milan and Spanish claims to Naples, removing Spain from the war.
