The Battle of Gavinana was fought on August 3, 1530 between the city of Florence and the forces of the Holy Roman Empire. The Imperial forces were led by Philibert of Châlon, Prince of Orange, with reinforcements under Fabrizio Maramaldo arriving later in the battle. The Florentine forces were led by Francesco Ferruccio. Despite being outnumbered, the Florentines managed to drive back the Imperial army, killing the Prince of Orange in the process. However, when Maramaldo arrived the tide was reversed, and after being wounded and captured, Ferruccio was executed personally by Maramaldo.
