The Siege of Padua was a major engagement early in the War of the League of Cambrai. Imperial forces had captured the Venetian city of Padua in June 1509. On July 17, Venetian forces commanded by Andrea Gritti marched quickly from Treviso with a contingent of stradioti and conquered back the city, which had been garrisoned by some landsknechts hired by Emperor Maximilian I.

  • The Siege of Padua was a major engagement early in the War of the League of Cambrai. Imperial forces had captured the Venetian city of Padua in June 1509. On July 17, Venetian forces commanded by Andrea Gritti marched quickly from Treviso with a contingent of stradioti and conquered back the city, which had been garrisoned by some landsknechts hired by Emperor Maximilian I. In reply, the emperor raised an army, composed mainly of mercenaries, and decided to invade the Veneto in an attempt to reclaim it. In early August 1509, Maximilian set out from Trento with some 35,000 men and headed south into Venetian territory; there he was joined by French and Papal contingents. Due to a lack of horses, and generally poor organization, the army did not reach Padua until mid-September, which allowed the Venetian commander Niccolò di Pitigliano to concentrate what remained of Venice's army after Agnadello, as well as several companies of volunteers from Venice, in the city. The siege began on September 15. For two weeks, Imperial and French artillery bombarded the city, successfully breeching the walls; but the attacking troops were driven back by determined Venetian resistance when they attempted to enter. An assault by 7,500 Landschnekts in the Codalunga sector of the walls (the one that was most bombarded during the siege) was repulsed by mercenary commander Citolo da perugia, whose mines killed 300 attackers and injured 400 others. By September 30, Maximilian, unable to pay his mercenaries, lifted the siege; leaving a small detachment in Italy under the Duke of Anhalt, he withdrew to Tyrol with the main part of his army. The defeat was a major loss of face for Maximilian, and the Holy Roman Empire would not attempt another invasion of Italy until 1516.
  • El Sitio de Padua fue uno de los principales enfrentamientos en la Guerra de la Liga de Cambrai. El 17 de julio de 1509, fuerzas venecianas al mando de Andrea Gritti se apoderaron de la ciudad de Padua, ciudad en la que había sido acuartelados algunos lasquenetes contratados por el emperador Maximiliano I. El emperador, cuyas fuerzas habían capturado la ciudad sólo unos meses antes, reclutó un ejército compuesto principalmente de mercenarios, e invadió el Véneto, en un intento de recuperar Padua. A principios de agosto de 1509, Maximiliano salió de Trento con un ejército de unos 35.000 hombres y se dirigió hacia el sur, en territorio veneciano; allí se le unieron los contingentes franceses y papales. Debido a la falta de caballos, y, en general, a la mala organización, el ejército no llegó a Padua hasta mediados de septiembre, lo que permitió Nicolo di Pitigliano concentrar lo que quedaba del ejército de Venecia después de Agnadello, así como varias empresas de voluntarios de la ciudad de Venecia. El sitio comenzó el 15 de septiembre. Durante dos semanas, la artillería francesa e imperial bombardeó la ciudad, ábriendo con éxito brechas en las murallas, pero los ataques fueron rechazados determinantemente por la resistencia veneciana cuando intentaron penetrar en la ciudad. El 30 de septiembre, Maximiliano, incapaz de pagar sus mercenarios, levantó el asedio, dejando un pequeño destacamento en Italia bajo el Duque de Anhalt, retirandos a Tirol con la parte principal de su ejército. La derrota fue una pérdida importante de cara a Maximiliano, y el Sacro Imperio Romano no volvió a intentar otra invasión a Italia hasta 1516.
