Eugène de Beauharnais, lined up the Mincio…
April 1814 CE
The Senate of the Kingdom is summoned on April 17, but the senators show themselves undecided in this chaotic situation.
When a second session of the assembly takes place on April 20, the Milan insurrection foils the Viceroy's plan.
In the riots, finance minister Count Giuseppe Prina is massacred by the crowd, and the Great Electors disband the Senate and call the Austrian forces to protect the city, while a Provisional Regency Government under the presidency of Carlo Verri is appointed.
Eugène surrenders on April 23, and is exiled to Bavaria by the Austrians, who occupy Milan on April 28.
On April 26, the Empire appoints Annibale Sommariva as Imperial Commissioner of Lombardy, while many taxes are abolished or reduced by the Provisional Regency.
