It's a nice little twist which still has permanent effects today and it will help put the Sabaton in you at ease, knowledge-wise anyway. Honestly, i forgot where this was going but check that out.

True - though I think it's fair to say their "ceremonial" role is still a real, serious role. They still block the entrances people aren't supposed to go in, they do crowd control, they're certainly fit enough to handle any rowdy people to try to break through -and the halberds are still good for something after all. But yes, when they're in plain clothes, they do have guns (and they might have a pistol on them even in the ceremonial dress - and one comment said they have pepper spray too.)

I often cite this as one of the reasons why Pope Clement VII denied the annulment of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. I imagine such a brazen attack on the Holy See by HRE forces must have shaken Clement badly and if he were to divorce the aunt of the man who's troops, not under his command, yet his troops were so bold to attack the Holy See herself and seize all her possessions and kill her populace. I wouldn't want to divorce them either. Furthermore, the annulment request was sent months after the sacking. It would have definitely been in the poor man's mind.

Legion XIII Exactly!! Thank you. Remember that the Popes had no issues with Kings wanting to annul their marriages to women who birthed them no sons - this was not because "hurr durr we hate women" but rather because no sons meant the entire Kingdom was at risk of being invaded and destroyed by claimaints to the throne. Heck, King Henry also had a good reason to divorce her. She was supposed to be married to his older brother and when he died, she was married off to Henry. Imagine having to allow the divorce of the aunt of the Emperor, who just freakin sacked Rome? Poor guy, he had no choice

Also I find it hard to believe 45000 civilians were murdered. Most of them would of fled. So I looked it up and there are estimates of between 6000 and 12000 killed. And most of them most probably men who died fighting defending the city.

My grandfather was a Corporal in the Pontifical Swiss Guard back in the 60's where there were still the Noble Guard (Vatican Household Cavalry) which were volunteer men chosen from the nobility of Italy and the Palatine Guard a part-time police force that patrolled the Vatican but all of that came to an end in 1970, where only the Swiss Guard were kept for their loyalty and their sacrifice to the Holy See

The Swiss Guards had another last stand on August 10th 1792 when 800 of them pretty much died to the last man defended the royal Tuilieris place against 20.000 rebelling soldiers of the National Guard and an angry parisian mob. The Swiss later build a monument in Lucerne showing a dying lion in his lst moments commemorating that event.

You were spot on about the motivations for the attack . One was purely plunder because Charles V was broke. The other was to attack the Catholic Church because this was a time of religious war. The Swiss Guards fought and died with honour and of course, massive civilian casualties.

Sabaton Stories- great idea for a video series! I suggest 'Hearts of Iron'- i.e. the story of the 'Boy General' of the Wehmact during the battle for Berlin \m/

The thing I never really understood about this last stand is why the pope waited so long before retreating to the angels fortress. The second news would reach me about the fall of the walls I would evacuate and not wait until the enemy is right at my doorstep knocking.

Well im reminded of when rome was invaded by the nazis in ww2 the pope at that time actually gave shelter to as many jews living in the city as he could. In the aftermath he actually walked the streets of destroyed neighborhoods and churches praying with the people that lost family and loved ones and mobilized the church and opened their coffers to begin repairs. I imagine he might have tried to save some people or atleast pray for their survival i mean if he ran too early it would make him look like a coward and bring harsher criticism and make the church look weak. Not saying i agree with that but the swiss laid down their lives and the leadership remembered and honored their sacrifice.

I imagine these tercios took less plunder and less chaos upon Rome, yet they needed money and it seemed that Bourbon was leading them to Italy, the most opulent place in Europe. It would have been hard to resist the temptation to get the money you desire, to help your family and your country, even if it were to sack the Holy See itself. Perhaps they were forced by their commander, the Duke of Bourbon to attack Rome, as a soldier would do. Nevertheless, I believe the Spaniards (and this is my personal speculation), must've atoned a lot after the incident, the German Landsknecht would be proud and say that they forced the 'Antichrist' to Castel Sant'Angelo. However, I think the Spaniards were desperate and Charles wasn't giving them money. They did a soldiers work, but at a heavy price.

They were so efficient that now they are compared to the roman legions and the macedonian phalanx.

Were they not generally beaten by the Maurician more musket heavy formations? A Tercio just like a cohort or phalanx is excellent in formation on open ground, but suffer outside of it. And the Black riders(?english translation) who were pistol wielding skirmishing cavalry were a counter to pike formations werent they?

@@INSANESUICIDE I don't understand what you mean by the Maurician. And no, the skirmishing cavalry had to approach, the tercios had guns with them, that was the point, to be an independent and flexible unit that could operate on its own.

@@INSANESUICIDE oh, you meant that. Yes, the dutch didn't improve the tercio, they changed the warfare with a type of formation that was more efficient once technology allowed it, but that was later, before that started to happen the tercios could never be beaten on equal terms.

You should make a video about the lost battalion, also a song from sabaton

Do one for the siege of Vienna next. And Then play Winged Hussars as Sobieski arrives

You know, I always felt like you were pretty impartial and harsh towards the Spanish (understandable with a dutch background). But I think you did a good work in this one. Many people tend to forget about the German troops and how the sack was mainly the product of a rebellion of the troops. One thing I was wondering too, I remember reading that the army also had significant amount of Italians. Mainly southern Italians, who disliked the papal states. They went into a rage when Charles died too, since he was apparently one of the few officers able to speak Italian and mediate between them and Spanish and Germans. But I don't know how true that is.

3:40 was just more evil Spaniard black legends. My favorites are Spanish Conquistadors snatching babies from there mothers arms. throwing them in the air and and catching them with the pointy end of their sword, or feeding them to their war dogs in front of their mothers. Also I find it hard to believe 45000 civilians were murdered. Most of them would of fled. So I looked it up and there are estimates of between 6000 and 12000 killed. And most of them most probably men who died fighting defending the city. Because you know real men stay and fight to defend their land, people city or nation they dont run or bend the knee to tyranny. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqGo3M-qfLKnhqQ.html

Amazing.

I was just waiting at the end for you to mention Sabaton. That's the reason why i came here, too.

It is either condottieri or militia... the condottieri's troops were higly trained, well armed troops (basically, the opposite of a militia) maybe, and I guess that is what you meant, there were both condottieri and militia?

3:14 I missed that

Yes please more Sabaton song stories!

Cool story. I remember we talked about this in Sunday school.

Hallelujah, Glory to His name!

Did you do one for "The Lost Battallion"?

Pausing for taking in some breath sometimes by the Speaker would make listening much easier.We are not in a hurry.

Please do the great northern war or the battle of Vienna

Unless the defenders are literally an equivalent of in earlier times or related to Nazis somehow, I will always have a massive amount of respect for people who give their lives in such vicious last stands. The Norwegian Berserker that fought off an entire army at Stamford Bridge in 1066, the Greeks at Thermopylae, the Swiss Guards here, the Romans and Genoese condottieri that fought to the very end in 1453, the Texans and Tejanos that fought to the death against Santa Anna. Even fictional last stands like Boromir in Lord of the Rings, Commander Thorn, Ima-gun Di, Chewbacca, and countless others giving their lives all throughout Star Wars, Sergeant Forge in Halo Wars and Noble Team in Halo: Reach. There's just something galvanizing about seeing, hearing, or learning of these kinds of last stands, it always makes me want to set my own affairs in order

Then the 189 in the service of Heaven They were protecting the Holy Line it was 1527 gave their lives on the steps to Heaven Thy will be done

If you are going to produce videos like this please include your references that you are drawing from. Some of your videos are quite good, but there is a inconsistency in the detail level and accuracy that many of us would like to know where you are drawing your info from (that is if we're dealing with the lack of detail on the part of the available sources, lack of good translations available or drawing too much from a single source). This one, with the rather vague casualty numbers sounds like there is either a source material conflict or only a single contemporary source that you are drawing from and it makes the material fuzzy, especially when you say one number value (ex: civilian casualties) but the text of your video shows another number and there is a large difference between the two.

So glad to see all the Sabaton references.

For the grace, for the might of our lord. For the home of the holy. For the faith, for the way of the sword. Gave their lives so boldly.

There was one problem with the video, the Swiss Guard didn't actually fight on the steps of the Basilica instead they fought in the Teutonic Cemetery which was adjacent to the Basilica

I think you mixed up things a bit, the Batlle of Pavia and the Sack of Rome happened in two separate wars, being the 4 Year War and the Cognac League War repectively.
