As regent, Bona played a significant political role in attempting to preserve the stability of the Sforza rule amidst internal power struggles. She was also the original patron of the lavishly illuminated Sforza Book of Hours, one of the finest surviving Renaissance books of hours. Read more on Wikipedia
