Sforza's rival, Giacomo Piccinino, would probably have succeeded in his own attempt, had not Ferdinand of Aragon treacherously murdered him at Naples in 1465. In the disorganization caused by Charles VIII., Vidovero of Brescia in 1495 established himself at Cesena and Castelnuovo, and had to be assassinated by Pandolfo Malatesta at the instigation of Venice.
IAN SCOREL, born in 1495, was a pupil of Mabuse, and appears to have been the first to introduce the Italian style into his native country Holland. When on a pilgrimage to Palestine he happened to pass through Rome at the time his countryman was raised to the papal dignity as Adrian VI., and after painting his portrait he was appointed overseer of the art treasures of the Vatican.
Concepcion de la Vega, capital of the province and one of the most important cities of the Royal Plain, is 90 miles from Santo Domingo City.

Villari, Life of Savonarola, vol. i. p. 259, may be consulted concerning the further distinction of Benefiziati, Statuali, Aggravezzati, at Florence. See also Varchi, vol. i. pp. 165-70.

Then he returned and entered on a career of greater popularity than could have been enjoyed by him if the French had never made the fickle race of Naples feel how far more odious is a foreign than a familiar yoke. Charles entered Naples as a conqueror or liberator on February 22, 1495.

An inscription of the Saka year 1395, which corresponds to A.D. 1472 73, speaks of Narasimha as a great lord, but a great lord ONLY, and so does another of A.D. 1482 83. In one of A.D. 1495 96, however, he is called "MAHA-RAYA," or the "king."
