The Last Stand of the Swiss Guards - The Sack of Rome in 1527 (2018x36)

Fecha de emisión: Jun 16, 2018

One of the most famous last stands in history has got to be that of the 189 Swiss Guards, 147 of whom fought to the death on the steps of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome when the mutinous imperial troops of Duke Charles of Bourbon sacked the city on the 26th of May 1527, giving their lives in service to the Pope so that he could flee to the safety of the Castel Sant Angelo being accompanied by the surviving 42 guardsmen.
