Everything about Gian Galeazzo Sforza totally explained
Gian Galeazzo Sforza (also
Giovan Galeazzo Sforza) (
June 20,
1469 -
October 21,
1494) was the sixth
Duke of Milan.
Born in
Abbiategrasso, he was only 7 years old when in 1476 his father,
Galeazzo Maria Sforza, was assassinated and Gian Galeazzo became the
Duke of Milan. His uncle,
Ludovico Sforza, acted as regent to the young duke but quickly wrestled all power from him and became the
de facto ruler of Milan for some time. In 1488, Gian Galeazzo married his cousin princess
Isabella of Naples and they'd three children together: Ippolita Maria (
1490 -
1501),
Francesco,
Bona (who married
Sigismund I of Poland) and Bianca Maria (
1495 -
1496).
Concerning Gian Galeazzo's death in 1494, Italian historian
Francesco Guicciardini had this to say in his
La Historia di Italia (The History of Italy):
The rumor was widespread that Giovan Galeazzo's death had been provoked by immoderate coitus; nevertheless, it was widely believed throughout Italy that he'd died not through natural illness nor as a result of incontinence, but had been poisoned... one of the royal physicians...asserted that he'd seen manifest signs of it. Nor was there anyone who doubted that if it had been poison, it had been administered through his uncle's Ludovico Sforza machinations...
