In the 26 of December of 1476, Galeazzo Maria Sforza was murdered in the church of Santo Stefano. An observance was supposed to be celebrated that day in the church, and the duke was to be present for the mass. The conspirators, Carlo Visconti, Gerolamo Olgiati and Giovanni Lampugnani chose this moment for the assassination. They were helped by approximately 30 armed allies. When the duke arrived, Lampugnani kneeled before him. After a moment he then rose and stabbed his neck while Visconti, Olgiati and Lampugnani's servant joined in. As the allies came to fight the duke's guards, the murderers escaped but Lampugnani entangled himself in a curtain. One of the guards took advantage of this to kill him.

Francesco Sforza was at first a condotierre and later became the duke of Milan. When he passed out in 1466 his son Galeazzo took his place at 22 years old. During his reign, Galeazzo showed his love of music and had sponsored many musicians. In fact, a great number of musicians from northern europe had flocked in Milan during Sforza's reign.

Galeazzo Sforza married two times, first in 1466, but a year later, her wife deceased. He then married a second time two years later with Bona Di Savoia. These marriages seemed to have a more political goal and not much romance was involved since Galeazzo Sforza had the habit of frequenting courtesans occasionally. But Galeazzo Sforza was also a greatly cruel leader with those who would be opposed to his ideals. For example, he executed a priest who had predicted that his reign would be short by leaving him to die of starvation. 
In [[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]], the assassination of Galeazzo Sforza is a part of the [[Templars]] plan and the four main conspirators are members of the Templar order. After torturing a Templar who reveals the plan, [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] sends [[Giovanni Auditore]] to save the duke but he fails. The scene's details are rather truthful despite the fact that Lampugnani stabs Sforza at the stomach and not at the neck, and also that he doesn't entangle himself in a curtain but being pursued, he runs into a cul de sac and gets killed by a guard.
