He took part in the Sack of Rome{{sfn|Pitts|1993|p=350-351}} and was killed during the final stages of the Siege of Florence (1530).{{sfn|Fletcher|2016|p=61}} An interesting exchange of letters during the siege between him and Charles still survives.
He died in 1530 being the last legitimate male line descendant of the ancient house of Ivrea (Anscarids), he was succeeded as Prince of Orange by the son of his sister (Claudia of Chalon), Renatus of Nassau-Breda, who thus founded the House of Orange-Nassau.
