Battle of Agnadello
French forces under Louis XII decisively defeat Venetian troops at Agnadello, capturing their commander Bartolomeo d'Alviano during a chaotic retreat through Lombard farmlands.
Setting
Rolling Lombard farmlands near Agnadello, with trampled wheat fields and scattered vineyards. The battlefield is littered with fallen soldiers, broken weapons, and abandoned carts. A narrow dirt road cuts through the fields, now churned into mud by hooves and boots.

TNGF
SELECTED
Bartolomeo d'Alviano
primary
A seasoned Venetian commander in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his piercing eyes reflect both intelligence and the strain of battle. A recent wound on his left arm is hastily bandaged with torn fabric.
French Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His muscular frame bears the scars of numerous battles, and his commanding presence is unmistakable.
Venetian Soldier
secondary
A rugged man in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is weathered by sun and battle, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, tied back in a simple leather thong.
French Archer
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and sharp, focused eyes. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings, and his stance is steady despite the chaos around him. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, likely from a past skirmish.
Local Farmer
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His face is lined with premature wrinkles from constant exposure to the elements, and his dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back loosely with a leather cord.
Dialog
Bartolomeo d'Alviano
By the blood of Saint Mark, you French dogs fight like wolves but rule like jackals!
French Captain
Silence, Venetian! Your Republic's arrogance ends today in this Lombard mud.
Bartolomeo d'Alviano
Venice has weathered greater storms than Louis' tantrums. The Lion still stands.
French Captain
Chain him! We parade this so-called lion through Milan in irons!
Bartolomeo d'Alviano
Remember this day, Captain. Venice forgets neither friend... nor enemy.
French Captain
Enough! March him north - I'll present this prize to His Majesty myself.
Bartolomeo d'Alviano
Tell Louis this: The Serenissima's claws are merely sheathed, not clipped.
