Gian Giacomo Trivulzio (1440 or 1441 – 5 December 1518) was an Italian aristocrat, statesman, and condottiero who played a prominent role during the Italian Wars. Originally serving the Duchy of Milan, he later became a leading military commander for Louis XII of France, contributing significantly to the French conquest of Milan in 1499, after which he was appointed Governor of the city and awarded the title of Marshal of France.
