September 1515 CE
…Francis and the main body of the French confront the Swiss at the Battle of Marignano on September 13.
The Swiss advance initially make headway; however, Francis's superiority in cavalry and artillery, together with the timely arrival of Alviano (who had successfully avoided Cardona's army at Verona) on the morning of September 14, leads to a strategically decisive victory for Francis and the Venetians.
