The War of the League of Cambrai (1508-1510) was fought between Venice and an alliance that included the Emperor Maximilian, Pope Julius II, Louis XII of France and Ferdinand II of Aragon, and that despite never coordinating its attacks managed to conquer large parts of the Venetian mainland empire before falling apart (Italian Wars, 1494-1559).

At the end of the Second Italian War Louis XII had agreed two treaties at Blois. The first, in September 1504, was between Louis and the Emperor Maximilian. Maximilian agreed to invest Louis as Duke of Milan in return for cash, while Louis then allocated Milan, Genoa, Asti, the duchy of Burgundy, Macon and Auxerre to the dowry of his daughter, after her proposed marriage to the future Emperor Charles V (Maximilian's grandson). In the second, agreed in October 1505 between Louis and Ferdinand II of Aragon, Louis surrendered his claim to Naples by making it the dowry of his niece Germaine of Foix after she married Ferdinand (the marriage took place in March 1506).
