League of Cambrai
The
League of Cambrai was a league formed under the leadership of
Pope Julius II against
Venice in
1508. It included, besides the Pope,
Louis XII of
France,
Emperor Maximilian I, and
Ferdinand of
Aragon. The League fought a war with Venice between 1508 and 1510. Generally, the League was successful, the only major battle,
Agnadello, being a French victory in
1509. The league began to come apart in 1510 when Ferdinand and the Pope swtiched sides, viewing Louis as now a greater threat than Venice, leading to the
Holy League.
