1432 CE
The dilatory behavior of Venetian general Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola towards Milan lead to a determination by the Council of Ten to bring him to justice.
Summoned to Venice to discuss future operations, he arrives without suspicion on March 29, 1432.
On his arrival at the ducal palace he is seized, imprisoned, and brought to trial for treason against the republic.
Although the doge befriends him, he is condemned to death and beheaded on May 5.
