Tortona. The army of Pavia, allied with the Empire, appears before Tortona, still half-destroyed. The Milanese who had settled there are led by the consuls Maragallia di Alliate, inclined to attack, and Ugo di Pasciluco, inclined to wait. Maragallia prevails. The clash with the Pavia is violent, and in the first clash, over a hundred knights from both sides are unhorsed. Ultimately, the Milanese are forced to retreat within the city walls.
