| Duchess of Milan, born in Avigliana, Piedmont, N Italy. The daughter of Ludovico of Savoia, she married Gian Galeazzo Maria Sforza in 1468. At his death (1476) she was regent for her son Gian Galeazzo with the assistance of Cicco Simonetta. To avoid a revolt, she agreed to joint rule with Ludovico il Moro, but in 1480 he deprived her of authority. |
