The sack of Rome

On 6 May 1527 , Charles I led his Spanish and German troops to an unprecedented victory, which ended with a brutal sacking of Rome . It all began when Pope Clement VII supported the French with the intention of saving the papacy from the supposed domination to which it was subjected by the Holy Roman Empire.

Several victories were necessary for the Empire's troops to gain control of northern Italy , and there the Emperor managed to defeat the French army, although he did not have enough money to pay the fighters. This did not please them at all, and led them to organize a mutiny, which had Rome as its objective: more than 1,500 soldiers, 5,000 Spaniards following Alfonso de Ávalos (the Marquis of Vasto ), 3,000 Italian soldiers under Ferrante I Gonzaga , and 10,000 German mercenaries led by George of Frundsberg made up this ferocious mob .

On 5 May they reached Rome , and Charles I did everything possible to prevent his army from being trapped in the city. A day later he began the attack against the walls on the Vatican Hill and the Janiculum . They mortally wounded the Duke of Bourbon and soon succeeded in weakening the enemy, so much so that it was possible to carry out their planned conquest before sunset.

The imperial troops massacred a large part of the guard ; its survivors, who did not reach a third of the original army, managed to allow Clement VII to escape through a secret corridor that even today connects the Castel Sant'Angelo with Vatican City .

Having killed so many people, the pillage began, the Sack of Rome . With the exception of the Spanish national churches, the destruction knew no bounds: churches, palaces of cardinals and prelates, monasteries. In addition to the attacks on buildings, they stole every valuable object they found. The pro-imperial cardinals, for their part, gave money in exchange for the right to keep their wealth.
