In 1450 the general Francesco Sforza became Duke of Milan by right of conquest. In 1522 the imperialists entered Milan and proclaimed Francesco Sforza [the younger] but he died in 1535, and with him ended the House of Sforza. From this date till the War of the Spanish Succession (1714) Milan was a dependency of the Spanish crown. At the end of that war it was handed over to Austria.
