![The Last Stand - The 1527 Sack of Rome - Sabaton History 044 [Official]](/img/1.gif)
I'm not a Christian, but I've always been a sucker for a "hero standing against overwhelming odds" story
The Swiss guards uniforms were designed by Leonardo da Vinci.. they haven’t changed in 500 years..they still carry pikes.. but the Vatican also has properly armed guards these days
The moment someone likes sabaton it's hard to stop listening to there music
Do you think they had any idea, that 500 years later, the bards would still be singing their tale?
The reason I'm so fascinated with history and military history in particular is because of how human it is. War is the most extreme event that humans can experience, and the stories that come out of it should be fresh in the minds of everyone. Sure, there are unspeakable acts committed in war and those shouldn't be forgotten, but seeing how people will stare at death in the face and will fight on regardless of the circumstances I think tells us more about us as a species and as human beings than anything else.
A minor correction; “Under guard of 42. Along a secret avenue.” is referencing the 42 Swiss Guards who escorted Pope Clement along the raised walkway to Castle Saint Angelo while the rest of the 189 stayed behind at the graveyard outside Saint Peter’s Basilica to cover their escape.
I truly get goosebumps when i listen to the: "No capitulation, annihilation" and "In the name of God" part, even being an atheist myself.
"Under guard of 42 along a secret avenue" is talking about the 42 men that took the pope to the keep and protected him there, not part of the 189 who stayed behind.
I think Last Stand stories are so attractive because they kind of encapsulate in a compact passage of something I read when i was a kid, and I don't remember the original source of the quote. "War brings out the best and the worst in men". In a single battle you'll see everything from the worst of what humans have to offer to their most noble. They don't make humans great, but it reveals the greatness of already good men, who are willing to go to measures they never would have imagined for their fellow man.
This became my favorite along with the Winged Hussars, I played those two constantly after discovering Sabaton. Now I like many more of their songs especially The Lost Battalion.
I shouldn't be surprised a historian would know that this song is about the sack of Rome, and not the Crusades.
Also a Christian, particularly a Catholic. This was the song I was introduced to for these Guys.
As a Christian of faith you would really like "The carolean's prayer".
Other Swiss Guard units apart from the Papal one. There were the cent suisses (the 100 Swiss) who were personal guards of the French Royal Family from the late 15th century, and later also a full regiment of the Royal Guard (alongside units like the Musketeers of Dumas fame) in the Kingdom of France; there were units (some long lasting, others only temporary) of Royal Guards from Switzerland in the Kingdoms of Savoy, Sardinia, Naples, Portugal and Prussia, in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and in Austria under the rule of Maria Theresa a battalion of Swiss was recruited specifically to guard the Hofburg, where one of the courtyards is called the Swiss Courtyard after them. Some of them came to bad ends, such as the Swiss Guards massacred by revolutionary mobs in France in the 1780s.
Growing up in church singing Hymns every weekend, this almost has a similar flow to a classic hymn. Love this song so much.
"The Last Samurai" is my favorite film, Your video about Sabaton Shiroyama was soo good. Love from Hungary! :D

The funny thing is that my time in the military and my fascination with history is what brought me to listening to Sabaton...Also as a Swiss guy myself I love this song a whole lot and I love that every time they are in Switzerland they play it...

History is weird because I live like an hour from the Alamo, So people I know just go there in the weekends but when I went to Boston I was amazed that people could just walk by all the historical spots and not be amazed, Then I realized that’s exactly what I do. (I’ve stopped at the Alamo for a bathroom break before)
