The Battle of Agnadello was a military clash between French forces and the Venetian army in 1509. The event was experienced by the player in the Facebook game Project Legacy, as the player (an Abstergo recruit) relives the memories of Bartolomeo d'Alviano, one of the captains of the Venetian army in the battle.
The Battle of Agnadello is the first mission in the Italian Wars memory pack, and the achievement obtained by completing all of its missions is called Condottiero.
Death Defiant
Waking up in the aftermath of a battle with severe wounds, Bartolomeo d'Alviano struggled to tend his injuries before he died of blood loss. Dressing his wounds using the tattered remnants of an enemy flag and other various pieces of cloth, he managed to sustain himself. Hungry for retaliation, he rallied the surviving members of the army and found them eager for blood. Bartolomeo looted the fallen fighters for weapons, having lost his own blade, Bianca, in the mud.

Turning the Tide
Having gathered enough weaponry, Bartolomeo led his men to charge against the French's northern patrol. The patrol was taken by surprise, and by the end of the fierce battle, was completely annihilated. The Venetians' next target was the western patrol, which they subdued using a ruse; a handful of the army presented themselves in the open, pretending to surrender, while the rest of the soldiers hid in the vineyards to ambush the deceived enemies. Using stolen horses and looted weaponry, Bartolomeo and the army attacked the rest of the patrols, finally gaining the upper hand.

Vying for the Village
Returning with his men, Bartolomeo found the town of Agnadello mostly destroyed, and its inhabitants shocked. Bartolomeo led his soldiers in putting out the fires in a still-burning section of the city, an action which earned the trust of many of the locals. Soon, the citizens began to enlist themselves, offering to fight and for their services to be of use. Blacksmiths provided new, sturdier weaponry for the army, and villagers gathered supplies. At last, Bartolomeo and his men charged forward to fight the French army; however, they were ultimately unable to resist, and were sorely defeated.
