Campaignbox Italian Wars The War of Urbino 1517 was a secondary episode of the Italian Wars . The conflict ensued after the end of the War of the League of Cambrai 1508 1516 , when Francesco Maria I della Rovere decided to take advantage of the situation to recover the Duchy of Urbino , from which he had been ousted in the previous year. In the early 1517 he presented himself under the walls of Verona to hire the troops which had besieged the city, now to be returned to the Republic of Venice . Della Rovere set off with an army of some 5,000 infantry and 1,000 horses which he entrusted to Federico Gonzaga lord of Bozzolo, reaching the walls of Urbino on January 23, 1517. He defeated the Papal States Papal condottiero Francesco del Monte and entered the city hailed by the population. Pope Leo X reacted by hastily hiring an army of 10,000 troops under Lorenzo II de Medici , Renzo di Ceri , Giulio Vitelli and Guido Rangoni and sending it against Urbino. Lorenzo was wounded by a bullet from an arquebus on April 4 during the siege of the Mondolfo castle, and returned to Tuscany. He was replaced by Cardinal Bibbiena . The latter was however unable to control the troops, and, defeated with relevant losses at Monte Imperiale , was forced to retreat to Pesaro . The war was however ended by the lack of money of Francesco Maria della Rovere, who soon found himself unable to pay the troops hired at Verona. After some unfruitful ravages in Tuscany and Umbria, he began to seek for a diplomatic settlement with the pope. In September they signed a treaty by which della Rovere was relieved of all ecclasiastical censures and was left free to retreat to Mantua with all his artillery, as well as the rich library collected in Urbino by the former duke Federico III da Montefeltro .
