Antefatti alla battaglia di Ceresole
Dopo la sconfitta di Pavia del 1525 e la prigionia in Spagna, il re di Francia Francesco I dovette subire le umilianti condizioni imposte dall’imperatore Carlo V. Il 14 gennaio 1526 venne stipulato il trattato di Madrid con il quale il re francese rinunciava ai suoi diritti sul ducato di Milano e sul regno di Napoli e per di più, doveva cedere la Borgogna e impegnarsi a sposare Eleonora sorella di Carlo V. Appena libero, però, il sovrano denunciò che il trattato gli era stato estorto con la forza, essendo lui prigioniero. Nel maggio del 1526 nacque la lega di Cognac contro l’imperatore. Vi facevano parte il papa Clemente VII, la repubblica di Firenze e di Venezia, la Francia e il duca di Milano Francesco Sforza II, ma non fu possibile allargare questa alleanza al re d’Inghilterra Enrico VIII.
La disparità di interessi e lo scarso coordinamento tra gli alleati, i mancati soccorsi promessi da Francesco I, a causa delle sue esigue risorse economiche, nonché le truppe insufficienti per una campagna, diedero il tempo a Carlo V di organizzarsi e di inviare 12.000 soldati imperiali in Italia. Questo esercito per la maggior parte formato da lanzichenecchi, nel maggio 1527 prenderà Roma e la metterà a sacco. Al pontefice, asserragliato in Castel Sant’Angelo, non rimase che trattare col vincitore e uscire dalla coalizione anti imperiale. Francesco I, scosso dagli avvenimenti romani, stipulò un nuovo trattato col re d’Inghilterra e inviò un forte esercito in Italia sotto il comando di Odet de Foix conte di Lautrec. Questi dopo esser penetrato in Lombardia e aver occupato Pavia si diresse verso Napoli che sottopose ad assedio nel gennaio 1528. Ma la defezione della flotta genovese che era al servizio della Francia e un’improvvisa epidemia di peste che decimò l’esercito fecero naufragare definitivamente l’impresa di Lautrec. Nell’estate del 1529 si giunse alla pace di Cambrai, questa volta il vittorioso Carlo V volle usare una certa moderazione col rivale,anche perché era preoccupato per la Germania travagliata dalla ribellione luterana. L’imperatore rinunciò quindi alle pretese sulla Borgogna e liberò i figli di Francesco I, fino ad allora tenuti in ostaggio come garanzia dell’attuazione pratica del trattato di Madrid. A sua volta il sovrano francese abbandonò i suoi diritti sull’eredità di Carlo il Temerario e le pretese su Milano e Napoli, inoltre, nel luglio 1530, sposò Eleonora sorella di Carlo.
Questa pace sancì il predominio asburgico in Italia. Predominio senza rivali. Nell’agosto 1530 infatti aveva capitolato anche la repubblica fiorentina, dopo quasi dieci mesi di assedio degli imperiali, i quali ripristinarono sulla città il potere dei Medici.
Ma se in Italia tutto era favorevole a Carlo V, non si poteva dire altrettanto in Europa. Dal settembre all’ottobre del 1529 Vienna aveva subito un assedio, fortunatamente infruttuoso, dai turchi di Solimano il Magnifico. Nel 1531 principi e città protestanti dell’impero si riunirono nella lega di Smalcalda, che sanciva un’alleanza difensiva con funzione antimperiale, obbligando Carlo V alla ricerca di un compromesso religioso. Nel 1534 un nuovo pericolo proveniva dal Mediterraneo. Il pirata saraceno Khayr al-Din detto il Barbarossa al comando di una flotta assalì la costa tirrenica del regno di Napoli e saccheggiò molte località tra le quali Fondi. Poi, spostatosi sulla costa africana, conquistò Biserta e Tunisi che erano sottomesse agli spagnoli.

Historical background to the battle of Ceresole
After his defeat in Pavia in 1525 and having been held captive in Spain, the King of France, Francis I, had to surrender under the humiliating conditions demanded by Emperor Charles V. On the 14 th January 1526 the Treaty of Madrid was signed, by which the French King renounced his claims on the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Naples. He moreover had to surrender
Burgundy and agree to marry Eleanor, the Emperor's sister . After his release, the King claimed that the Treaty had been extorted by force when he was being held prisoner. In May 1526 the League of Cognac, a coalition against the Emperor, was established. The alliance included Pope Clement VII, the Republic of Florence and Venice, France and the Duke of Milan
Francesco Sforza II. They couldn’t however extend the alliance to Henry VIII, King of England. The disparity of interests and the lack of coordination between the allies, and Francis I failing to provide aid as he had promised because of his limited financial resources, as well as not having enough troops to fight a campaign, gave Charles V the momentum to organize and send 12,000 Imperial soldiers to Italy. The army, mostly formed by Landsknechts, seized and ransacked Rome in 1527. The Pope was imprisoned in Castel Sant'Angelo and had to accept the deal with the victor, thus leaving the anti-imperial coalition.
Shocked by what happened in Rome, Francis I signed a new Treaty with the King of England and sent a powerful army to Italy, which was led by Odet de Foix, Earl of Lautrec. After having gained access into Lombardy and having taken Pavia, the army tried to seize Naples in January 1528. But the Genoese fleet that had been serving France deserted the battle and a sudden plague outbreak decimated the army. Lautrec's campaign therefore failed once and for all. In the summer of 1529 the Treaty of Cambrai was ratified. This time the victorious Charles V decided not to be too harsh on his rival, partly because he was troubled by the turmoil that the Lutheran rebellion was causing in Germany. The Emperor renounced his claims on Burgundy and released Francis I's children, who had been held hostages to ensure the practical implementation of the Treaty of Madrid. The French King, in return, gave up his claims on Charles the Bold's inheritance and on Milan and Naples. He moreover married Eleanor, Charles' sister, in July 1530. Such Treaty therefore established Habsburg dominance over Italy.Unrivaled dominance In August 1530 the Republic of Florence had succumbed to the Austrian army, after having been under siege for almost ten months. The Imperial army then restored the Medici sovereignty over Florence.
But even though Charles V was benefiting from the situation in Italy the same wasn't happening in Europe. From September to October 1529 Vienna had been under attack by the Turks of Suleiman the Magnificent, who fortunately were unsuccessful. In 1531 Lutheran cities and princes within the Holy Roman Empire formed the Schmalkaldic League, which established a defensive alliance against the Empire, forcing Charles V to pursue a religious compromise. In 1534 a new threat came from the Mediterranean Sea. The Saracen pirate Khayr al-Din, known as "Redbeard", led a fleet which attacked the Tyrrhenian Sea coast of the Kingdom of Naples and plundered many villages, such as Fondi. He then headed to the African Coast and took Bizerte and Tunis, which had been under Spanish dominance.
