King Louis XII's demands for power in Italy were supported by Pope Alexander VI.
In 1501, Naples was faced with a two-pronged Franco-Spanish offensive, forcing its king to capitulate on 26 September 1501. He took refuge with the King of France, who granted him the title of Duke of Anjou in exchange for his renunciation of the Kingdom of Naples. At the same time, and with the agreement of France, César Borgia, son of Alexander VI, took possession of the whole of papal Romagna
(1500), then the Duchy of Urbino (June 1502). Louis XII opposed his velicitás to attack Florence.
