Ludovis was then sent by his Majesty with the Vice-King of Naples. They all hoped could more easily get good results from the asperities of the greatest undertakings. Ludovic testifies bringing at the vertex of the Archiprestitural prelature in the Metropolitan church of his homeland, and famous for pity of costumes and life, really at the first place for its clergy and doctrine as example for dignity; already in advance he openly showed on himself he was really worthy of such a dignity, and susceptible to be celebrated (if sometimes luck was propitious) with worthy future greater honours if death would not have kept him to the Celestial Empire to which he longed f or.

These paternal prides are grown by the light of Glory in Maternal blood, of celebrated men, very famous for Military Armour , not less for Senatorial Toga, which from the nobilty of the Picenardis has since old times been evidenced through documents and royal degrees to make famous names and births of said brothers of the Ambrosini family; so thus from the contribution of many ornaments in which nothing already judged and not worthy of claim is found to make them deserving to be loved. Consequently, in the wish to return to the right honour of these citizens to virtue, by public decree we have a public and everlasting evidence sent to be inscribed in these public tables and to be thus provided with our signs of public faith so to make happy them and their house.

Then, in 1635, by the Quonium Bull of April 1st, by decree of Innocent III, a tempest came in Europe and lasted over 216 years while at Susiana in 1763 a last among the sands of the desert small sovereignty settled in arid, soil at the mercy of the principles brought up the name of the Ambrosinis, their Kings and Emperor’s cousins.

The Ambrosini Family suffered wars, conquests, defeats but the Heads of the Holy Roman Empire and Patriarchs of the Primitive Christian Church never have forgotten the deeds of the knights of the Ambrosinis, of their Priors, Grand Masters and Sovereign Princes.

But the story of the ancient Friar-Knights of the Religious Order of the Ambrosinis could not only remain the patrimony of ancient parchments forgotten into dusty archives.

It had to live and. take its place again into history, with deeds and charity and apostolic mission.

Susa capital of the ancient Elam, Shushan in Elamitic language, was situated. by the today’s village of Sush in the persian Kuzistan, not far from the River Karkha (the old Coaspe). Since the prehistoric times the fertile and irrigated soil helped agriculture a great deal which then turned into urban civilization.

The excavations started by some French archeologists at the end of the last century, shed light upon great testimonies of the history of that town which lasted from the III millenium a.C. till the Mussulman period. Susa is then for us the most complete repertory of the several civilizations which succeeded in the ancient Iranian , its importance not only grew for having been a converging point of the civilization flourished on the flat soil of Mesopotamia. (the sumeric—Assyrian one) with the one typical of the Iranian tableland. The first urban centre was under the Elamitic Dynasty of the Awan, but then (by the 2300 b.c.) the influences of the kings of Akkad and later of the powerful III Sumeric Dynasty of Ur affected the zone.

The Babylonians conquered Susa. in the golden period of Hammurabi (XVIII century), whose very famous stele having the code engraved upon was found just in that town. It had finished there where Susa, at the end of the Cassio time, had recovered its own independence and its will of plundering the nearer people.

Another remarkable artisticsl work, out of that plundering activity, is the beautiful stele of Narausin representing the great king’s entreprises.

Then Susa fell again after the extension of the military Empire of Assur and in 645 b.c. was conquered by Assurbanipal; then it passed once more under Babylon in612. After the persian conquest, the town at last became the wintry capital of the Achemenids and in it Alexander the Great celebrates his solemn wedding. The same did his generals with Persian women, to hardly decree an union of the Greek world to the Eastern one. Susan, capital of Elan was named Susiana.

The Dynasty of Susiana succeeded the Simash one, whose first king was Idaddu I and the second his son Tan Ruhuratir who married Mekubi, daughter of Balalama king of Eshunna. The tenth king was Idaddu II.

Everyone had the title of Ishakku of Susa and Shakkakku of Elam (which are of prince and governor respectively. But the Dynasty has a. very important place in the conquest of Elarn and they were called Sukkalmah’s elated messangers , Chief Commissioners and received, their ‘power from God only.)

The Sukkalmah has authority on Sukkal (plenipotentiary minister) of Elam, of Simash and then Susa’s. Once the Babylonian Dynasty ended the figure of the Chief Commissioner desappeared.

In the II millennium after a long period in which history of Plain seemed eclipsed by the invasion of Cassio of indoeuropean origin and formerly from Central Asia, the Cassitas settled by the Tiger River. 

Then in Elam a new dynasty founded by Pahir Ishshan and his successor Huban-Numena arose. Him, legitimate holder of the dynasty and recognized as king of Anzan and Susa’s as well as Prince of Elam. He was the first king of Susa. Some other kings followed Huban-Numena as Untash-Huban (son of the former); Shutruk-Nanhunte (1200 b.c.); Shilhak-Inshushinak (1155 b. c.) and so on. Susa’ s Kingdom, named "Elamtic Empire", declined when Nabucodonosor of Babylon conquered Elam.

Another eclipsing period arose for Elam and Susa which sees its politic life almost completely desappearing from great power.

An eclipsing period of three centuries followed having several kings as Shutruk-Nahunk II (VIII century b.c.) whose successor was Huban-Nugash, King of Elam and Governor of Susa too; Hallushu-Inshishinah, who decayed having been dethroned; Huban-Immena (640 b.c.); Tepti- Huban-Inshushinak who was king of Susa and governing a part of Elam he was friend of the Assyriants against Assurbanipal. But Tepti-Huban-Inshushinak turned round and with Assurbanipal’s warriors attacked and conquered Susa and its precious treasure from the Elamit people which then he brought to Assiria.

So they say on the Bible too, where it is spoken about the moving of Elamit and Susian people across Samaria. (I Extract K,4.9).

Peter Ambrosini was adviser and skilful judge of Francesco sforza, Italian condottiere and Duke of Milan. Francesco Sforza was born from the famous mercenary captain Muzio Attendolo said ‘the Sforza’ and from one of his many concubines. He was addressed at the military art in young age. 

At 17 he was already leading an army corps committed by his father who gave him Pilissena Ruffo as wife. Always at his father’s command, in the Napolitan, he fought against Caracciolo and the Queen Joan remaining seriously wounded.

When 20 and already a widower he, being appointed as Vice king, restored order in Calabria. Then he followed his father against Braccio da Montone who in I424 laid slege to Aquila. It was in this campaign that the great Muzio died drowned while looking at Pescara. 

Queen Joan entrusted him to conquest Naples again, he laid siege to the town which he cunningly conquered buying the capitulation from its governor whose daughter he married. At his father-in-law’s command he started again the war against Braccio da Montone whom he defeated at the wails of Aquila. 

He then served Philip Maria Visconti, Duke of Milan; for him he fought against the mercenary troops of the Carmagnola in the serene Highness’ pay. 

Defeated at Maclodio in 1427 (mostly for the variances among the many Heads of the Visconti troops) he was almost to serve Venice at the start again of hostilities, but the Duke of Milan was able to hold him back inspiring him the hope to make him marry his only heiress and daughter, Bianca Mary aged 8. The Visconti’s troop leaded by the Sforza and Piccinino (spring I43I) defeated the Venetians of whom they destroyed the whole navy anchored on the Po River by Cremona.

In 1433 Sforza left Lombardy, apparently to his estate in Puglia. Once arrived at the Pope’s March he took possession of it in the name of the Council of Basel for he was urged by the population itself, rather tired of the misgovernment of the roman Curia. To save the possible, Pope Eugene IV decided to come to an agreement with the invader of his lands and appointed him Vicar and Gonfalonier of the Church.

 In 1437, by Brags he fought and won Piccinino who had descended in Tuscany With the aim to own Pisa; then he besieged Lucca for the Florentines’ account. The siege, therefore, ceased because the Sforza in the meantime, choose to accept the favourable conditions of the Venetians, once more in war with the Milan people. He concluded nothing even for his new masters:

On the contrary he disobeyed the order to pass the Po and that for he was already pending secret negotiations with the Duke of Milan. After so many tiring negotiations the condottiere ended by concluding a sort of private treaty with Philip Maria: the Duke let him marry Blanche Mary, recognizing him the liberty to fight at the command of anyone he liked but not against the Duke himself.

was once more Visconti to press the Florentines. The condottiere was always depending from them whom were to recall him hack with good or bad manners. For the thousandth time hostility between Venice began, F.Sforza fought with Venice, drawing a league at three with Florence.

Even in this occasion, therefore, he showed his deceitfulness, natural consequence of his political ambition. This when defeating the Piccinino on the Garda and winning the whole Empire of Vanice again, he refused to cross the Adda river because to despoil the Duke of all his lands it was to him like to renounce the eagerly desired succession. 

He chose then to agree with Visconti who let him marry at last his daughter giving them the lands of cremona as a dowry. The Sforza once again gave a remarkable proof of his political skilfulness and unusual courage: for when he was called by the Senate of Venetia to justify his strange behaviour, and refusing everyone’s advice he went to Venice, to the wolf-den, well knowing he could fail as at the Carmagnola.

Even after the marriage son and father-in-law looked surlily for deep mutual suspiciousness due to their different political thoughts. The Visconti wished eagerly not else but ever defeat the power of the very hated Venice at any moment ready to threaten its power; while the Sforza aimed a political balance among the several nations of the Italic peninsula; he even being a soldier by profession, therefore was a man tendentiously enclined to peace. 

It was always him, the father-in-law, to fan the flame: once more sending his devoted Piccinino to the Marca and enducing the Pope to revoke his son-in-law the appointment of Gonfalonier declaring him as a rebel. At first the Sforza’s territories were all almost lost; but in the Nov.1443, the skilful condottiere took his fine revenge defeating at Montolmo the Piccinino’s and the Pope’s joined soldiers. The Pope had to give him back all titles and lands.

That remained, therefore, a very hard time for the Sforza; whether Venice and Florence were late to pay him salaries or because the Visconti still showed a hostile attitude in sending some army to attack Cremona. 

Things changed completely when troops of Venetia decided to cross the Adda River, invaded the Dukedom and pressed to the Walls of Milan: then father-in-law humbled himself imploring not to abandon him (Jan.1447), to recover his endless mistrutful excepted once danger was over. Francesco decided not to leave the Marca to enter Lombardy till his father-in-law was seriously ill. Along his journey he happened to it with the worse news that an Ambrosian Republic had just been proclaimed by townsmen of Milan. 

If Francesco had reached Milan in time there would have been no difficulties for a so powerful and shrewed man and the Dukedom would have been his. But ha had instead to conquer it and from the beginning (the new Pope Nicholas V took him the Marca). 

Luckily all towns of Lombardy disliked the new born Republic; they were anxious to have their own independence back again, as well as the everlasting enemy Venice ; moreover the republican government in the situation to face many opponents made the error to entrust our condottiere with the command of the militia of Milan. He soon won Pavia and then Piacenza, Tortona and Brescia being paid back with a more and more growing mistrust by the rulers who instigated their generals to desert, as he came to known it by intercepted letters.
