Siege of Mirandola ( 1551 ) The siege of Mirandola took part in 1551 , carried on by Pope Julius III against the city , which had allied with France during the last of the Italian Wars . As during the War of the League of Cambrai , the fortified city - state of Mirandola had again allied with France . Like his predecessor Julius II had made in 1510 , pope Julius III in 1551 sent against it an army under generals Camillo Orsini and Alessandro Vitelleschi , along with his nephew , Giovanni Battista del Monte , who later proved an inept of military matters . Despite the alliance with the Spanish emperor Charles V and his imperial support , the siege dragged on for months due to rivalry between the papal commanders . Differently from the 1510 siege , the ditches did not get iced , and sallies from besieged knights hampered communications between the four forts built by the besiegers around the citadel . In Spring , the siege continued with no result , waiting for a corps of Landsknechts to be sent by Charles from Germany . However , in March 1552 , a Mirandolese raid surprised the pope ' s nephew while hunting and killed him . The pope wrote to the emperor that he would abandon the siege .
