Muzio Attendolo Sforza

Muzio Attendolo Sforza (28 May 1369 – 4 January 1424) was an Italian condottiero. Founder of the Sforza dynasty, he led a Bolognese-Florentine army at the Battle of Casalecchio. In his later years, he served Queen Joanna II of Naples and was appointed Grand Constable of Naples, commanding her forces during a period of political instability.

He was the father of Francesco Sforza, who established the Sforza dynasty that governed the Duchy of Milan across multiple generations during the Renaissance.
