Odet of Foix, Viscount of Lautrec

As Marshal of France, he commanded the campaign to conquer Naples, but died from the bubonic plague in 1528.

[6] The surrender was caused by the dissonance between the two factions, while Brescia was given over to Venetian commissioner, Andrea Gritti.

In 1522, under pressure from unpaid Swiss troops,[7] Odet attacked entrenched Spanish-Imperial positions and was completely defeated at the Battle of Bicocca, losing Milan in the process.

[8] Odet fled back to France, and supervised the hostage exchange of Francis' sons following the latter's defeat at Battle of Pavia.

[11] The defection of Andrea Doria and an outbreak of the plague or cholera in the French camp brought on a fresh disaster.
