The Sack of Rome 1527 - As it Happened
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 2024
- Nearly 500 years ago Rome experienced one of the most brutal sacks since that of the 5th century siege of Rome by the Visigoths. It was brutal, chaotic, and memorable - still today the event remains a mainstay in Italian history, popular culture and historical intrigue.
From the death of a French Duke to the last stand of the Swiss Guard, the 1527 Sack of Rome is a fascinating story of brutality and the horrors of Renaissance era warfare.

Hey everyone, some general things I should mention with this video. There are some points where I take some creative liberty with the narrative, since there doesn't really exist a moment by moment account of the Sack itself, but for the most part I try to keep to the sources I have included in the description, but even they are limited. For example, I could never really pin down the primary source for that '189 Swiss Guards' reference that is literally everywhere on the internet, even in what is supposed to be the definitive source on the sack of Rome, Ludwig Freiherr von Pastor's History of the Popes. I did find it on a defunct website run by The Vatican, however, they also neglected to mention the primary source.
Anyway, hope you liked the video - please do use this comment to let me know if you spotted anything in the video that can be sourced/clarified, and just your comments/criticisms in general!
what about your voice? you sound like you absolutely don't care about the content
@@fullmetajacket2090 just leave
@@fullmetajacket2090 really?
You inconsiderate jerk 🙈
What music was used in this video?
This stuff good.
1.200 years later and still Aurelian's walls were the defence of Rome. The Roman legacy still echoes even after millennias
Yet only 4 000 volunteered to defend the city. Uhm, they kinda deserved to be sacked.
Same thing happaned in Constatinople. The Theodosian walls ware the main defence even tho they ware several houndred years obsolite.
@@mowtow90 They were pretty effective but no wall at the time could withstand cannon-fire.
@@TheBoobansuch an ignorant thing to say.
You're making the same mistake that the video makes - the Emperor's name was Marcus Aurelius.
Another mistake is that the Landsknechte being mainly from southern Germany, were not mainly Lutheran.
There are other mistakes, but life's too short...
Shame we don't have a movie regarding the last stand of the Swiss Guard. Id be totally happy if they took some creative liberties with it as well, to enhance the emotional factor of it. Maybe show the Guard fighting their way backwards up the steps of the Basilica. Their lines steadily shrinking while the enemy dead lay thick at their feet.
Fantastic video sir, glad I found your channel.
I will pay anything to see that movie
Then it cuts to the Pope abusing a child right?
With the state of Hollywood these days, they would probably choose Halle Berry or Zendaya to portray Captain Röist.
The movie 300: change Leonidas for Roist, Thermopilae for the Vatican and the persians for the imperials. Same ending.
I highly recommend Sabaton's "The Last Stand."
Under guard of 42
Along a secret avenue
Castle saint Angelo is waiting
They're the guard of the holy see
They're the guards of Christianity
Their path to history is paved with salvation
Then the 189
In the service of heaven
They're protecting the holy line
It was 1527
Gave their lives on the steps to heaven
Thy will be done!
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
Aaahhh, Sabaton. The Last Stand.
For the grace, for the might of our lord
In the name of his glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story again
Dying for salvation with dedication
No capitulation, annihilation
Papal commendation, reincarnation

It’s a crime that this video doesn’t have over a million views
oh wow! How'd you find this channel?!
Thank you for the recommendation! I have just subscribed!
@@IMPERIALYTHe’s right though, this channel is unironically amazing no matter the subject you cover, I like the style of editing and just the general structure you use between all of your videos. Please keep this up as you are willing to do so, and if you’d prefer to ever stop, just know you’ve done a great job regardless.
Views and quality have never been farther from each other on CZcams
@@IMPERIALYT are u an ai?
Absolutely phenomenal. I wouldn't bat an eye if this had a million views.
I would. I don't want to get bad eyesight.
Thank you - I'm glad you liked the video! Just a quick question though, assuming you've seen my previous videos - do you enjoy the more politically geared videos or the more historically geared ones?
@@IMPERIALYT I honestly enjoy both similarly, the variety is great
*looks at view count*
Well then... that's weird. If I had to bet on digits I would have lost. Only 4. Seems very high quality but I'm not very interested in prolonged descriptions of the horror of war.
@@IMPERIALYT Honestly I don't really have a preference, I enjoy both topics! But if I **had** to choose, it would probably be the political ones

My new favourite channel uploaded!!!
Masterfully made. I’m glad I’ve found this channel in its infancy!
Listening now in 2023, I felt a deep sorrow for the events in Rome in 1527.
I saw this video and assumed that you had around 400K-600K subscribers. I honestly didn't expect at all what I actually saw. You and your work deserve so much more. My hope is that you become a household name in education/history/politics side of youtube.
This is quite honestly the best history video I have seen in a while, thanks for the great content
The Sack of Rome was commemorated by oath taking of the newly recruits of Pontifical Swiss Guard every May 6 every year
Extremely high quality content. Fascinating story, great storytelling and simplistic visuals, in the best way possible
Once this channel will inevitably blow up, I wanna say that I was here when it was still small! Jokes aside amazing video! Keep it up! :)
And I just realised this Channel is from Switzerland! Super z gseh dass es endlich en super schwiizer Kanal git!
how have I not seen this channel before? This is actually amazing
don't usually comment on videos but i've only seen two videos on your channel and both of them have been amazing. super high quality and the subtitles are always on point, better than most other educational channels (i have awful hearing). your channel is super underrated!
The research, animation, and story telling are absolutely copacetic. Great work!!
Can't wait to watch this channel grow! These videos are pure quality.
Extremely well animated as always. I cant believe this shit is free.
This just appeared in my CZcams suggestions, found it very interesting and well produced. This deserves more views and subs.
Man the narrative voice is amazing! With great music hitting at the right time! This is Art! 👏🏼
The way you speak is so beautiful the sense that you yourself are merely communicating fact yet when you talk for others with such passion!
This is a world class video available to watch for free. Wow. I feel so lucky. Thank you for making this amazing video. The work you put into it is crystal clear.
Thank you for making this video
Absolutely brilliant video.
So well made and I'm so glad I found this video!!

Instant sub. Quality is so suprisingly and satisfyingly high.

Absolutely Amazing Video.
With this staggering amount of quality in the video, its a crime that you only have 18k subscribers. Regardless, I pray for your success in your YT career because my god you deserve it.
Just discovered your content, and I have to say that it is some of the greatest historical content I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Great effort - and I hope you get a lot more subscribers : )
This deserves more views. Well done!!! 🎉😊

About 30 seconds in never seen your channel before but I can tell this is a hidden gem and definitely gonna jump on the bandwagon now so I can brag I knew this channel at 2.5k when you hit a million.
This was great! It deserves millions of views, and you deserve so many more subs!💯
Just discovered your channel and in the midst of binging all the vidoes - absurdly well produced, leaving one here for the algo!
Man, what a phenomenal little documentary. The animations are excellent and I really enjoyed the narration. Keep up the great work, you'll get a lot more subs than 16k if you do 😊
Wow, this was great. I'm proud that I will soon be able to say that I was here before you blew up.
Wonderful job! Of course the event is abhorrent, but I think you did an amazing job with the narration and graphics/animation. I particularly enjoyed the use of sources and quotes. Very professional in execution.
After watching this I subscribed. Great video !!
Love it! Love it! Love it! Amazing to see your animation develop. More pls 💞💞
You good sir, need a raise!
This was so good, another subscriber ☑️

Where’s this from?
@@willmanley922Band: Sabaton
Album/Song: The Last Stand
Genre: Heavy Metal, Power Metal
Length: 3:55
I had to listen to this song in its entirety after watching this video
Great power metal band with excellent historical/heroic songs of times and brave men.
the most underrated youtube channel on the platform. well made video.
Insane production!!!
Amazing documentary!
Great video bro
Such an awesome video! I just subbed
I watched twice. So much information, I was focused on the visuals at first! Great great video
INCREDIBLE. Honestly, the number of subscribers here is nowhere near what you deserve.
PS. Anyone know the music used in the video?
Sadly, despite the city surrendering in June, the Imperial Army did not depart from Rome immediately. They stayed in the city continuing their ransacking and debauched behavior until October when a wave of bubonic plague broke our into the city and decimated many of the invaders as well as the Roman citizens who had managed to survive that long. Some reports indicate that 2/3 of the invading army died alongside 25,000 civillians.
their Bad Karma came back to bite them!
Thank you so much for this, I pride myself on knowing a little European history but completely overlooked the sacking of Rome.
Great job 👏👏👏🙏
Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
This video is an absolute masterpiece. You have some serious talent and if you keep improving you will also have a seriously big audience. Keep up the great work 👍
Wow excellent video
Awesome video
This video is phenomenal
The channel is so fking rad. Keep it up, friend, you're great at this
I agree with the many comments that this channel is far underappreciated. It has to be an exposure problem because masses will love this channel
Really good quality video
Love the channel ! The storytelling is truly awesome. Out of curiosity, what software(s) do you use to edit your videos ?
Simply outstanding. Flawless.
Almost 500 years later this still boils my blood
Were you there?
@@whoarewe7515 dont have to be there to read the accounts of it
🤣
Amazing video :DDD
your channel is going to blow up
Amazing!
fabulous! thank you
Masterpiece video, wow!
Excellent. Subbed!
Yes yes yes! Make more videos from more places like this!
it must be really unmotivating to have such a great video be so under appreciated.
Another high quality production to place in your crown. Remember me when you hit 1 million subs x
As you asked for feedback, showing a more easily understood map of the city at the start of the video would have been nice, it's really hard to keep up with the geography on this one IMO, very difficult to read. Otherwise great stuff as always, can't wait for the day you'll finally go viral, if you keep this up it's inevitable!
i love this channel, i have an idea for your next video. you should look into WW! battles there isn't a lot of channels like yours that have gone over WW1 battles it would be nice to see it in your editing style
Wow what a great video!
Made me sad for the horrors and evil people were/are capable of though
Really hope the algorithm starts pushing your vids into everyone's recommended some day
Thank you! I love making videos so if I could make this more than a hobby that would be incredible.
glad i found this channel
wow, interessting and good animation! 👍
I know it’s been said, but this was the sickest and best history or maybe even video I have ever seen
Oooooh that gives me Kings and Generals vibes, but unique. You have a bright future ahead of you my dude
Subscribed!
Dude the graphics in this video are incredible
the animation is insane, did you do this alone or a team? bravo👏
Really well produced episode.
This is where language changes the context of the past..
"Anxieties" wasn't a word used back then. They would have thought you meant "melancholy."
Melancholy I think we would agree is not what those men were feeling.
They may have used a word like "excited" which wasn't used positively then as it is now.
