The two thousand knights and six thousand…

November 1237 CE

The two thousand knights and six thousand infantry led by Pietro Tiepolo, son of the doge of Venice and current podestà of Milan, occupy a favorable position at Manerbio in November.

The two armies remain fifteen days facing each other without battling, separated by a marsh that thwarts the knights' effectiveness.

Frederick, whose army is becoming short of supply, leaves his camp in search of a more advantageous position, and on November 24 crosses the Oglio river, marching northwards to wait for the enemy's moves at Soncino.
