Novara was originally a Ligurian or Celtic settlement. In the Middle Ages it was the second most important city in the Duchy of Milan. On June 6, 1513, during the Italian Wars of 1494–1559, the French troops of Marshal La Trémouille were defeated near the city by the Swiss mercenaries of the Milanese duke Massimiliano Sforza. On Mar. 23, 1849, during the Austro-Italian War of 1848–49, the Sardinian army under General W. Chrzanowski (50,000 men and 112 guns) was defeated at Novara by the Austrian troops of Field Marshal J. Radetzky (57,000 men, 186 guns), after which the Sardinian king, Charles Albert, abdicated. On Mar. 26, 1849, Charles Albert’s successor, Victor Emmanuel II, concluded a truce and, in August 1849, a peace treaty with Austria.
