In 1511, Maximilian I joined a new Holy League alongside the pope, Spain, England, and other allies to oppose France. As part of this alliance, Maximilian collaborated with England to secure a victory against the French forces at the Battle of the Spurs in 1513. While his allies focused their efforts on regaining control of Milan and Lombardy, this victory represented a significant military success for Maximilian during his ongoing conflicts with France.1
