May 1613: In 1613, the Duke of Savoy, Charles Emmanuel I, launched a military campaign to expand his territory. His forces successfully attacked and occupied the towns of Alba, Moncalvo, and Trino.
June 1615: Treaty of Asti of June 21, 1615.
October 1616: Charles Emmanuel I sent a new army supported by French forces in September 1616, using as an excuse the fact that Spain was not respecting the terms of the agreement ( also due to the new governor of Milan, don Pedro Álvarez de Toledo y Colonna, who was against the agreement reached in Asti). The Savoy forces initially defeated the Spanish and took Alba.
December 1616: The Spanish army led by Pedro Álvarez de Toledo y Colonna conquered Vercelli after 2 months of siege.
September 1617: After a treaty was signed in Paris, Spanish and Savoiard forces left the regions occupied during the War of the Montferrat Sucession.
