The '''Italian War of 1535''' between [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles V]] and [[Francis I of France]] began with the death of [[Francesco Maria Sforza]], the [[duke of Milan]]. When Charles' son [[Phillip II of Spain|Phillip]] inherited the duchy, Francis invaded Italy, capturing [[Turin]], but failed to take [[Milan]]. In response, Charles invaded [[Provence]], advancing to [[Aix-en-Provence]], but withdrew to Spain rather than attacking the heavily fortified [[Avignon]]. There is also a story that French troops deliberately left over-ripe fruit on the trees in an attempt to give Charles's troops dysentery. The Truce of Nice ended the war, leaving Turin in French hands but effecting no significant change in the map of Italy. The Truce of Nice was notable because Charles and Francis refused to sit in the same room together, such was their hatred. The negotiations were carried out by the [[Pope]] going from room to room, trying to reach an agreement.
