For 1537 important combined operations had been agreed upon between France and the Ottoman Empire as part of the Franco - Ottoman alliance , in which the Ottomans would attack southern Italy and Naples under Barbarossa , and Francis I would attack northern Italy with 50 , 000 men . Suleiman led an army of 300 , 000 from Constantinople to Albania , with the objective of transporting them to Italy with the fleet . The Ottoman fleet gathered in Avlona with 100 galleys , accompanied by the French ambassador Jean de La Forêt . They landed in Castro , Apulia by the end of July 1537 , and departed two weeks later with many prisoners . Barbarossa had laid waste to the region around Otranto , carrying about 10 , 000 people into slavery . Francis however failed to meet his commitment , and instead attacked the Netherlands . Siege .

Saint - Blancard in vain attempted to convince the Ottomans to again raid the coasts of Apulia , Sicily and the March of Ancona . Eventually Suleiman , worried by a plague among his troops , decided to return with his fleet to Istambul by mid - September without having captured Corfu . French ambassador Jean de La Forêt became seriously ill and died around that time . Francis I finally penetrated into Italy , and reached Rivoli on 31 October 1537 . The fleet of Saint - Blancard wintered in Chios until 17 February 1538 . It was decided that three ships would go to Constantinople , while the rest of the fleet returned to France . In Constantinople , they were received by the French ambassador Charles de Marillac . Hayreddin Barbarossa provided for the expenses , and the French galleys finally left on 11 April 1538 to return to Nice through Monastir . A consequence of the siege was that the Venetians decided to form an alliance with the Pope and the Habsburg against the Ottomans . On 18 June 1538 , Francis I signed the Truce of Nice with Charles V , thereby temporarily abandoning the Franco - Ottoman alliance .
