Dico illam ducissam Mediolani titulo tenus, nam regno suo iam pridem spoliata non minus affinium fraude quam vi hostili. Haec ex inclita Aragonia familia genus ducit. Filia fuit serenissimi regis Neapolitani Alfonsi secundi et coniunx illustrissimi Ioannis Galiatii iam defuncti ducis Mediolani, ex quo filiam, quam nunc unicam habet, suscepit. Huic puellae nomen est domina orig. domnadominadomina orig. domna Bona Sfortia. Annum iam primum supra vicesimum nata. Eius mater, de qua supra, nunc ducatu dux est Barii et princeps Rossani in regno Neapolitano orig. NeapolitanoiNeapolitanoNeapolitano orig. Neapolitanoi.
