The Republics of Siena and Florence and…

July 1409 CE

The Republics of Siena and Florence and the powerful cardinal Baldassarre Cossa, fearing the aims of Ladislaus, ally against him.

Antipope Alexander V excommunicates him, and calls Louis II of Anjou back to Italy to conquer Naples.

Louis arrives in late July 1409 with fifteen hundred cavalry and is invested with the Neapolitan crown.

The allies' troops, under Muzio Attendolo, Braccio da Montone and other condottieri, invade the Papal lands under Ladislaus' control and move to Rome; Orsini, left by Ladislaus to protect the city, defects to them with two thousand men.

However, the allies capture only the Vatican and the Trastevere quarter.

Cardinal Cossa and Louis leave the siege to their condottieri, and move to northern Italy and Provence in search of further support.
