Galeazzo Maria Sforza (1444-1476) was the duke of Milan, husband of Lucreca Landriani and father of Caterina Sforza, who would later become the countess of Forlì and Imola.
Assassination
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.
Assassin's Creed: Lineage
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.
