It took place in north - west Italy in what is now part of the commune of Santena about 15 km southeast of Turin .

The latter had subjugated Mondovì , Cherasco , Savigliano , ousted the Falletti from Alba and later moved against Chieri , a stronghold of the Angevine possessions in Piedmont . Reforza conquered Verzuolo May 1344 . In the following year he took Alba and besieged Gamenario , a castle in the neighbourhood of Santena . Lombard Ghibellines formed an anti - Angevin alliance , choosing John II as their leader . On 22 April , he confronted Reforza d ' Agoult and battle was joined . The meeting was brief and bloody . Initially uncertain , the outcome was a victory for the Ghibellines , who recovered the besieged fortress and dealt a severe blow to Angevin influence in Piedmont . To celebrate his victory , John built a new church in Asti in honour of Saint George , near whose feast day the battle was won . In the aftermath , Piedmont was partitioned between the victors . John received Alba , Acqui Terme , Ivrea , and Valenza . Luchino Visconti received Alessandria and the House of Savoy ( related to the Palaiologos of Montferrat ) received Chieri .

Thurleigh Castle Thurleigh Castle , also known as Bury Hills , was a medieval castle in the civil parish of Thurleigh , in the county of Bedfordshire , England . Details . The site is a Scheduled Monument , protected by law and described as " Bury Hill Camp : a motte - and - bailey castle with three fishponds " . The motte is notable in that it has a top platform on two levels , and the bailey is also of unusual form and is exceptionally large . The motte is an earthen mound , oval in plan , measuring 60m long by up to 40m wide at its base and between 40m long by 20m wide at the top . The higher level is at the north - eastern end and is thought to have held the stronghold . To the south of the motte is the bailey which is irregular in shape and measures 200m by 270m . Excavations in the 1970s found few remains of the Norman castle , but finds indicated that the site had been occupied in the Iron - Age , Roman and Saxon periods . It has been postulated that the motte and bailey was the easternmost of a line of defensive sites on the upper reaches of the Ouse which extends to Odell . The building of the castle has been ascribed to King Stephen ( 1135 – 54 ) . Much of the site has been developed and the scheduled protection applies mainly to the ground underneath . Only earthworks survive today .

Diophantus ( general ) Diophantus ( ) , son of Asclepiodorus , of Sinope , was a general in the service of Mithridates VI of Pontus . Diophantus was active in Mithridates ' campaigns in the Bosporan Kingdom and elsewhere around the Black Sea , although their chronology is disputed . An inscription found during the excavations in Chersonesos glorifies Diophantus as " the first foreign invader to conquer the Scythians " . During his first Crimean expedition , he relieved the siege of Chersonesos by the Scythian king Palacus and subdued his allies , the Tauri . He finished this campaign at Scythian Neapolis . During the second campaign , Diophantus checked another invasion of the Scythians , who had joined their forces with the Rhoxolanoi under Tasius . At one point during these campaigns he established a stronghold at Eupatorium on the eastern shore of the Crimea . Around 107 BC , Mithridates dispatched Diophantes to Panticapaeum with the task of persuading the Bosporan king Paerisades V to cede his kingdom to Mithridates . While he was in the city , the Scythians , led by a certain Saumacus , revolted and killed Paerisades , while Diophantes barely managed to escape to Chersonesos . Back in Pontus , Diophantes rallied his forces and sailed to Crimea with a large fleet . The Scythian uprising was put down and the Bosporan kingdom was reduced to a dependency of Pontus .
