The more motley the mercenary, the more deadly.

the Swiss neutrality is actually based on our country's history of exporting soldiers. the leaders of the early Swiss communities swore unto each other to ... never fight each other and never swear fealty to or get into an alliance with one of the powers surrounding them (Habsburg, France, whoever) which might endanger the others... but to let each of them export their young men as mercenaries to the highest bidder. Which created literally centuries of a flourishing business. It was only by the middle of the 19th century that we stopped exporting our sons as cannon fodder (except for the Vatican) and just kept exporting weapons. to whomever payed the most. Unless they are actively at war because then we couldn't sell weapons to their enemy at the same time.That's the Swiss neutrality.

They quite literally have God on their side.

I used to work security many years ago. During my time working there the pope came to the resort for some ceremony. He had his guards along with secret service and deputies from the county. The popes guards were pretty cool, and had their outfits for the ceremony but otherwise looked like normal police officers

The stand of the Swiss Guard against Charles V's forces reminds me of "The Last Stand of the 300", the famous Spartan engagement. Also, the global perception that Switzerland is a bit of a "softie" could also apply to today's Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden, Denmark & Norway. These countries are seen as peaceful, progressive & civilized. But they, as well as Switzerland, are sitting smugly in the knowledge that they produce some of the most fearsome warriors the world has ever seen - the Vikings. People like that KNOW they don't have to prove a THING. As Pres. Teddy Roosevelt said, "Walk softly & carry a big stick.". I'm sure His Holiness appreciates his OWN "Secret Service".

@@MeanApollo In many anglo countries, Switzerland has the reputation of "absolute neutrality" because of a supposed fear of war. That's not exactly true- and as you know Sweden has actually gone longer without being in war, but that's the stereotype and why some might consider the Swiss to be "softies". Then there's the opposite stereotype of "gun toting money laundering libertarians" which has become more popular recently. In fact the idea of the "offshore swiss bank account" is some mythical, untouchable, extralegal "shady business practice" which the "based swiss" allow because they're not weak, but drawn absolutely to the dollar. So yeah, while the stereotype of the Swiss being softies might be wrong, it does exist and has for a while.

Pope's earthly dominions were not always that small. Perugians' bid for independence from Papal rule in 1859 was put down in a bloody massacre. Upon Italy's unification troops had to be sent to protect the Swiss guard from vengeful Perugians.

4:59 Switzerland to Rome, checked, 829,8 km. Four months = 120 + days. Dec and Oct had 31, so 122 days. 6.8 km a day, I guess marching 200 together is slower than marching individually.

The topic definitely inspired by my search for Tissot.

Love your work man. Keep it coming

Sabaton - Last Stand

Pope's army doesn't look more hilarious than British fur hats and skirts.

If you ever get the chance, Could you do a video bout the raining frogs? Thanks Really enjoy your content

The stock footage in your videos always makes them so unsettling but honestly I kind of like it

My nanna is descended from two brothers, one who joined the Swiss guard and the other was a highwayman lol

Was literally searching for a Sabaton comment. 👍

The most amazin part about the story of the swiss guard is that theyve only lost 65 of their original 200 over the course of five centuries of conflict.

i really just noticed "the last stand" by sabaton is about that battle. very interesting indeed

Thanks for the intel. I've been thinking about hiring them for my own detail.

Sabaton reference is gonna be flooding in...

Hey Thoughty2, I love your videos! I've been watching them for years and I want to suggest a video for you. Have you ever heard about the blind prophet Vanga? Her predictions are estimated to be around 80% accurate. She lived relatively soon and predicted huge events like 9 11, and currently, her future predictions are quite popular. I really want to see what video you can make.

Surprised I don't see anyone mentioning Sabaton. I couldn't get their song to stop playing in my head while watching this video.

Not bad, not bad at all! You should do a video on the French Swiss Guard and the Battle of the Tuileries Palace on 10 August 1792.

€1300 a month to be in one of the most elite militaries in the world? What's that old saying?... Oh yeah. Sod that for a game of soldiers! 😂

...Or you know, shoot you with a gun. Halberds are great if you charge them with an horse but like any other weapon popular in the 1500s they haven't aged very well. The style of the 1500s landsknechts were rather unique and the Swizz guard is frozen in time in looks but they are better trained then marines even if their clothes might look silly. Their ceremonial parades is just a part of their duty. Switzerland also have the second highest number of guns per people after US.

@@penultimateh766 Wait, why does ambidexterity factions in when they are wielding 2 handed weapons? And when facing 40 anything you are in big trouble even if they wield butter knives. I trained with swords, I can take out 2 opponents with worse training then me. Possibly 2 but that require that they are pretty bad. Someone good can probably take out 5 opponents but anything above that require a plate armor and opponents who doesn't know how to take out someone wearing plate. So I don't really see how your example make sense. Halberd was a great weapon in the early 1500s when firearms still were relatively rare, expensive and unreliable while the plate armor technology was at it's top. An experienced soldier can pretty easily dismount anyone with a halberd and it can double as a spear even if it does that a bit worse since it weights more and can't be thrown. Once the flintlock and wheellock became a thing they became obsolete just like the plate armor.

Great Homage to the Swiss Guard! Thank you!

Their clothes might look ridiculous but even they arent as ridiculous as how ridiculously lethal those guards are.

Your videos never dissapoint thank you keep up with good work.

"one standard issue penis" what if it isn't standard issue? I mean, if it is exceptionally large or small, does that mean you're out?

0:27 I assume the footage is flipped horizontally, since the ambo is always supposed to be in the north of the chancel.

Great vid. Loved the 42 Guards left lol so good

At least three of my ancestors were in the pope's private army and also at least one ancestor in a friend's family as well. They were tall and Catholic, but my family is Dutch and hers is Italian, so that Swiss thing is new or not entirely accurate. ;)

Historically the papal military was larger than just the Swiss Guards. The Papal Zouaves were an infantry regiment in the Papal Army in the mid-late 19th cent. while they had a large number of both Dutch and French troops they were highly multinational in origin, and their commander was formerly of the Swiss Guard. So perhaps your ancestors and that of your friend served in this regiment rather than the Swiss Guards?

I actually meet all the requirements to become a swiss guard. Not that I'm interested though :D

i am swiss and didn’t know any of this, such a good video👍🏼👍🏼

"yes, 42" cracked me up xD
