GALEAllO Maria, who succeeded to the duchy, was born in 1 444, and was a lover of art, eloquent in speech, but dissolute and cruel.
The two Sons of Lodovico, Massimiliano and Francesco Maria, took refuge in Germany; the former was restored to the duchy of Milan by the Swiss in 1512, but after the overwhelming defeat of his allies at Marignano (1515) he abandoned his rights to Francis I.
The duchy went to Charles V. The dukes of Sforza-Cesarini and the counts of Santa Fiora are descended from collateral branches of the Sforza family.
