Years: 1524 - 1524

Genoa had been recaptured by the French, and in 1522 by the Imperialists, while Andrea Doria had been scouring the Mediterranean in command of the Genoese fleet, waging war on the Turks and the Barbary pirates, but Doria has now joined the French, or popular, faction, and has entered the service of King Francis, who has made him captain-general.

He relieves Marseille, besieged by the Imperial forces in 1524, and helps to place his native city once more under French domination.
