here is the eventshist7118 to be used by the new event 262034 instead of current 262008 (the description in 262008 should be changed with eventhist174028:
#-#In 1458, in accordance with his father's will, Ferdinando succeeded Alfonso I on the throne of Naples. Ferdinando I, also called Don Ferrante, was the natural son of Alfonso V of Aragon and I of Sicily and Naples. In order to arrange a good future to his bastard son, King Alfonso had him married in 1444 to Isabella of Chiaramonte, a feudal heiress of remarkable feudal possessions in Southern Italy and granddaughter of Maria d'Enghien, queen consort of Ladislao, the last Angevin King of Naples. But after Alfonso died Pope Calixtus III didn't legitimate Ferdinando as new King of Naples, he declared instead that the line of Aragon was extinct and that the kingdom was to be considered a fief of the church. Although the Pope died before he could make good his claim and the new Pope Pius II on the contrary recognized Ferdinando, Jean d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine and René's son, also known as 'Duke of Calabria', profiting by the discontent of the pro-Angevin Neapolitan barons, decided to attempt to regain the throne of his ancestors and invaded Naples. The war started well for the Anjou with the easy occupation of Apulia and the temporary control of Naples after the victorious battle of Sarno in 1460. Ferdinand was so severely defeated that his kingdom seemed to be completely lost in Angevin hands, but with the military help of Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, through his brother Alessandro and of the Albanian leader Gjergj Kastrioti, known as 'Skanderbeg', who came to the aid of the prince whose father had aided him, he triumphed over his enemies in the battle of Troja in 1462. By 1464 Ferdinando could re-establish his authority in the kingdom, Jean d'Anjou left Southern Italy while the barons agreed to recognize the Aragonese as their King.

#-#The French governors were imposing on the Republic so harsh tributes for continuing the war against Naples that they provoked big resentment in the Genoese population as much as to refuse a French suzerainty. Since the military expedition led by Jean d'Anjou to conquer the Kingdom of Naples failed and the rebelling Neapolitan barons eventually agreed to recognize Ferdinando as their King, Louis XI of France decide to abandon his plan to control the Genoese Republic granting his friend and ally Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, ownership's rights to the city of Genoa. Sforza soon sent an army led by Giacomo Vimercate to submit the city. As soon as Genoa fell under the Milanese troops and the despotic doge Paolo Fregoso fled with his fleet away, a delegation of the citizenship of Genoa went to Milan to swear allegiance to the new ruler.
and to lower down a bit the relations between Genoa and Milan (avoiding diploannexations):
historically the assassination of Galeazzo Maria was used as attempt for Genoa to reject the Milanese suzerainty which only Simonetta was able to appease.

#-#Duke Galeazzo Maria was assassinated in the Church of San, Stefano in 1476, leaving a young son, Gian Galeazzo, then about eight, years old. The government was carried on by his mother, Bona of Savoy, in the name of the infant and in her own. But dissensions soon arose, between the regent and her brothers-in-law. In the first encounter Bona, and her chief counsellor, Cicco Simonetta, were victorious, and the, brothers of Galeazzo Maria were obliged to leave the city. But before, long Ludovico, the ablest of the sons of Francesco Sforza procured his, own readmission. The fall and execution of Simonetta followed, and from, 1479 the real government of Milan lay in the hands of Ludovico, whose, power was further secured in 1480, when he seized the person of the, young duke and the duchess was obliged to leave Milan. Henceforward the, rule of Ludovico was not seriously challenged. The young duke was a, prisoner, and Ludovico managed everything in his name.
