A Spanish force commanded by Hugo of Moncada lands near Genoa in early December, intending to interfere in a conflict between pro-Valois and pro-Habsburg factions in the city.

Confronted by the more numerous French and left without naval support by the arrival of a pro-Valois fleet commanded by Andrea Doria, the Spanish troops surrender.
