Francesco II Ordelaffi Surrenders to Papal Forces

July 4th, 1359 665 years ago

Francesco II Ordelaffi, the Lord of Forlì, capitulated to the Papal commander Gil de Albornoz after a sustained siege. This event unfolded in the city of Forlì in Romagna, Italy, during a period marked by Papal efforts to consolidate power in the region. The surrender followed a lengthy conflict, reflecting the strategic maneuverings between local lords and papal authority. Albornoz's forces effectively surrounded the city, leading to a loss of morale among Ordelaffi's troops, which precipitated the terms of surrender.
