The Sforza ("Strivers") dynasty began as many Italian noble houses did, with a successful condottiere (mercenary soldier) seeking respectability for his family by procuring a title and an estate. By 1450, Francesco I Sforza seized the Duchy of Milan via a strategic marriage to the daughter of Filippo Maria Visconti. Francesco was succeeded by his son, Galeazzo Maria Sforza, who ruled the duchy with an iron fist, imposing heavy taxes that caused widespread discontent. Despite being remembered today for as a patron of the arts, he was assassinated in 1476. The ducal crown fell to Galeazzo's young son, Giovanni Galeazzo Maria Sforza, only seven years old at the time. Giovanni would prove to be mostly uninterested in government, allowing most of the work of his office to be conducted by his uncle, regent, and later advisor Lodovico Sforza. Giovanni would die young in 1494, setting up a power struggle between Lodovico and the French king Louis XII for control of Milan.

Lasser Collection for the benefit of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (Triton XVIII, 6 January 2015), lot 1587; Künker 163 (28 January 2010), lot 238.INTRODUCTION TO GO BEFORE COIN The ninth century was a period of significant change for the papacy and its relations with the Carolingian Empire. While Louis the Pious and his successors continued to include Italy as one of their constituent kingdoms, the empire, under the Treaty of Verdun (843) was divided into three parts. Further partitions in 855, 870, and 880, weakened Carolingian control of the Kingdom of Italy (Regnum Italiae), so that in 887, following the deposition of Charles III, a period of instability and rivalry followed. The cooperation between the papacy and the Carolingians shifted back-and-forth, with the popes of this period experiencing some independence. Much of the reason for this shifting relationship was due to Muslim presence in the area, with the conquest of Sicily and attacks along the Italian coast. As a result of a lack of aid from the Carolingians, the popes themselves began to take action, which was reflected on their coinage. While their issues still nominally recognized their Carolingian overlords, the popes now replaced the imperial monogram with their own monogram, or with their name (sometimes with a depiction of St. Peter). TO GO BEFORE COIN Leo IV (847-855), who assumed the papacy without waiting for imperial consent, repaired the churches damaged during the Arab raid of Rome in 846. He then set about building a wall around Vatican Hill. Finally, he organized a league of Italian maritime republics (Naples, Gaeta, and Amalfi) which. together with the papacy, defeated the Saracens at the Battle of Ostia (849).
