  Muzio Attendolo Sforza

  
  

• Notes

  This same account of his name and origin was given by “Muzio” Sforza to Robert of Bavaria, when the latter wished to grant him a new coat of arms, which would have connected him by descent with a city and a royal house of Dacia. Muzzo became afterwards corrupted into “Muzio” by adulators of the Sforza princes who affected to trace the descent of the great condottiere from Mutius Scævola. source: Pasolini, Pier Desiderio and Paul Sylvester. Catherine Sforza. Chicago, IL: Herbert Stone and Company, 1898.
