The Lombard cities will not accept the verdict of the Diet of Roncaglia, and it has to be enforced by war.
Imperial forces dominate prior to the true unification of the Lombard League (1167), and the city of Milan is razed to the ground in 1162, its inhabitants scattered among four villages.
Post destructionem Mediolani ("after the destruction of Milan"), the cities come to understand the value of a proper alliance.
