Maximilian Maria Sforza (Italian: Massimiliano Maria Sforza; 25 January 1493 – 25 May 1530)[1] was a Duke of Milan from the Sforza family, the son of Ludovico Sforza. He was installed as a ruler of Milan in 1512 after the capture of Milan by the Holy League, supported by a Swiss militia led by Jakob Meyer zum Hasen.[2] He ruled from 1512 to 1515,[3] between the occupations of Louis XII of France (1500–1512), and Francis I of France in 1515. After the French victory at the Battle of Marignano, Maximilian was imprisoned by the returning French troops.[4]

When Maximilian was three his father tried to arrange a marriage between him and Mary Tudor, the younger daughter of King Henry VII of England.[5] However, Henry VII rejected the proposal citing Mary's young age as the issue.[5]
