 On the documents of the time, the event is described, citing the fact that the English royals had been housed ""a Santo Georgio near Legnano"".In the Middle Ages the community of "Sotena", like the nearby Legnano, was on the border between the Seprio peasants (whose capital was Castelseprio) and Burgaria (probably under the hegemony of Parabiago), two counties dependent on the Lombardy Brand, which was a territorial division from the Longobards and Franks.At the time, the community depended on both the civil and religious aspects of the Pieve of Parabiago.
