In this animated historical documentary, we will cover the famous battle of Pavia that was fought in 1525 during the Italian War, between France and its king Francis I and the forces of the Habsburg monarchy led by Charles de Lannoy.
Ever since the end of the Hundred Years' War in 1453, France and its ruling Valois dynasty was looking for ways to consolidate its holdings and conquer new lands. The rising Habsburg dynasty was often in their way. The rivalry between these dynasties continued for centuries and caused countless conflicts, among them Italian Wars, Thirty Years' War, War of the Spanish Successions and many others.
