Editing Galeazzo Maria Sforza (section)

== Villainy ==
* Sforza was notorious for his sadism and bloodlust, and was reputed to have enjoyed breaking apart men's limbs with his bare hands. 
* He was a notorious womanizer, and made many enemies among the Milanese nobility by raping the wives and daughters of many nobles, often passing them on to his courtiers once he was finished with them.
* He subjected criminals to ridiculously cruel methods of execution, most infamously killing a poacher by forcing him to swallow an entire hare with fur intact and having Pietro Drago nailed alive to his coffin. 
* He repeatedly abused his power as Duke of Milan to dispose of his enemies, most notably having humanist Cola Montano publicly flogged and exiled from Milan after Montano opposed him.
**Other examples of abuses of power by Sforza include ordering for a man's hands to be cut off for refusing to let Sforza have sex with his wife.
* Shortly after coming to power, Sforza asked a Milanese priest how long he would reign for. When the priest predicted that he would only reign for eleven years, Sforza had him taken away to a dungeon, where he was starved and forced to eat his own excrement. Unsurprisingly, the man died after only twelve days.
*He allegedly poisoned his mother.
