Kings and Generals

Battle of Fornovo 1495 - Italian Wars (2021x80)

Air date: Jul 25, 2021

This new Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series will focus on the Italian Wars. In the first episode, we will give a background of the events - why the Italian peninsula was so disunited and why France was so interested in the politics of the region. The attack of the French king Charles VIII against Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), the kingdom of Naples, and the Venetian League during the First Italian War led to the battle of Fornovo in 1495.
