Some weeks ago Indy and Sabaton talked about the Spartans famous last stand at Thermopylae, today we turn towards another famous last stand by a small, elite unit completely outnumbered in our video on the 1527 Sack of Rome. We hope you like our newest video! Now, this video was made with the amazing support from our amazing Patrons. Without them this show literally wouldn't exist, so do head on to www.patreon.com/sabatonhistory to help us continue to make content like this! Cheers, the Sabaton History team!

There are two types of leaders mercenaries will really try to avenge. The beloved ones. The well-paying (or atleast promised well-paying) ones Anything else is somehow connected to the two.
Forgot which episode it was, but the Indy ventriloquist intro ending with a double Joakim thumbs up struck me as a blooper that they opted to go with as the actual intro.
@@SergioImbarlina i remember that one. I am pretty sure there are good bloopers of everyone. I know the episode that talked about the Czech crown jewels when Joakim makes his comment to Indy being a better man someone in the background snorts ( like they are stopping a laugh )
Lol, I did that three weeks ago with the boys and Horst Wessel Lied. The night started off with anime and memes, and next thing we knew it was 3 in the morning and we'd been Sieg Heil-ing for the past hour to old nazi songs all having been drinking like fish.
More fun facts about the Swiss Guard: The graduation ceremony of new Guardsmen is held on the day of the sacrifice of their forebears during this battle.
Well, let's put it that way: If you are the center of first the whole known world and then the center of the christian-theological world, and that for over 2000 years, people will have an iterest in "knocking at your gates". Look at cities like Paris or Vienna. Those where nowhere near as important of as long and also had their fair share of sieges, sacks and wars.
@@KingofDrama1 Forget Switzerland. The Templars fled to Portugal, were protected by the Crown and were renamed. They were engaged in countering Moorish pirates in the 14th century. In the 15th and 16th centuries, their seed capital financed Portuguese expeditions from the Amazon to Japan, which is why Portuguese ships bore red crosses on their white sails.
My oldest daughter got called satanic because she listens to Sabaton and other metal bands...she being a teenager told the kids bugging her, when is the last time your music taught you history. I even got her history to listen to Sabaton. Converting the masses 1 teacher at a time.
Charles: *considers the current Pope his ally* Pope: *has a little private chat with Francis* Charles: *has changed his allegiance to enemy* Charles: *has changed his religion to Lutheran*
@@PetrosSigmar The Pope: good we killed the boss, oh shoot why are there still so many minions, aren't they supposed to despawn once the boss is killed?
Charles V did not become a Lutheran. The 30 years war was a war between France and protestants on one side, and the descendants of Charles and his brother on the other.
In 2017, I visited the Vatican and walked from there to Castel Sant'Angelo. I was wearing a Sabaton shirt and found myself frequently thinking of this song.
@@SabatonHistory I didn't know about the last stand of the Swiss guard until Sabaton wrote the song. That prompted me to do my own research and then to visit Castel Sant'Angelo.
@Necroglobule I met them several times at concerts. At one, my friend and I were the only people with meet and greet tickets and the entire band talked to us for over an hour. How many bands will do that?!
I’m Jewish and everytime I hear this song I am prepared to die for Pope Francis. Everytime I hear Caroleans prayer I am ready to go into battle for Lutheranism.
@@Capellix0001 well maybe not but that's what it was I didn't tell it to flex on how much I listened to it I just wanted to tell because the video is about the song
>song about sacking Rome, capital of Christiandom, by fellow Christians >is this the Crusades? Actually, now that I think about, it’s kind of 4th crusade 2.0
Sad, but true. Sacking Constantinople has to be on the short list, top three at least, of the stupidest, most counter-productive atrocities in the history of Christianity - and I'm not sure what the other two contenders would be.
The sack of Constantinople was a reply to the killing of the Latins by the citizens and authorities in constantinople. It wasn't just a 'dumb thing' it was the culmination of a deep religious and sectarian divide
I'm a dentist, and I must admit that many times when the situation in the chair gets really tough, and the tissues just won't yield, on the surface I remain calm as a pedalling duck, but inside my head, it's just: "FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF THE LORD"... And I fight my way through all the blood and mucus with more determination until the final victory, the job done and the patient relieved from pain and satisfied...Thank you Sabaton especially for this spirit-elevating masterpiece and of course for all the other awesome music! I hope one day I will be able to listen to you live! Cheers and thank you!
For the one year anniversary you should get the whole band together in one episode. And of course as song it has to be Swedish Pagans. *edit* if they do this. Joakim and Tommy obviously have to chug a beer.
I think the crusades meme started, when someone made a video to the song using the "Kingdom of heaven" movie, and its got millions of views, and its got deleted at some time, but many copies are reuploaded and still available.
Everyone knows the real reason for Swiss neutrality...THE BANKS. Will be fun to see how globalization of the banking markets not just in digital transactions but storing physical wealth will change the politics of the Swiss come the next Great War.
TheDecepticondude Dude don’t mess with us i agree🤪🤣 Don’t belive me? You saw it in the top video what swiss soldiers are capable of. Sabaton got a point. Greetings from Switzerland. And in fact sabaton. The Flag of the First help organisation founded by a swiss man is actually the flag of the templar. Red inside, white outside.😁
Regardless of faith, nation, or culture, warriors of honor and bravery is to be revered and respected. May the Swiss Guard of 1527 rest in peace, their memory held in esteem.
I've been patiently waiting for this episode because it's the song that hooked me onto this amazing band!! It will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason 🥰🥰 I LOVED the episode! Always exceeding my expectations guys, great job!! 🥰🥰🥰 Besides bloopers, for the 1 year anniversary episode I'd love to see Primo Victoria for it! It's an amazing song but it's also the album that that gave your band the path it's been steamrolling down since. ❤ you guys! Excited for more content!
As a Maltese Reanacter I originally viewed this song as a reference to the great siege of Malta. Because the fort that resisted the ottoman army and had been lost and retaken by the Maltese and the knights of St. John was called fort st Angelo
The first time I ever heard of Sabaton was about 8 months ago when I was watching a documentary on the sacking of Rome and they mentioned this very song. I'll admit it took me about a month before my curiosity got the better of me and looked them up, oddly enough though the first Sabaton song I ever listened to was "Fields of Verdun" then "the lost battalion" then "the last stand" and 7 or so months later here I am still.
This channel was a great idea! I already love the story telling of history in the songs, but a channel for explaining the specific point of history for each song is fuckin genius!
I‘m Swiss and surprisingly I can learn some of our history due to Sabaton songs and their history channel. Great band! Seen them live several times. I like how Sabaton adresses history in their songs. There is so much we can learn from it.
It was this song and my love the Swiss guard that got me first listening Sabaton. I was in my what courage you could cake and to stand up to those odds is fully knowing what it meant. I remember listening to this song for the first time and thinking about the Swiss guard, I pause the video and did my reception and sure enough it was soon after I was listening to the other masterpieces.
I've waited almost a whole year to say that this was first Sabaton song that I ever heard, followed by Winged Hussars, Carolus Rex, Sparta, Lost Battalion, and Manowar (which introduced me to that band as well). For the story behind how I came across Last Stand.... It was Warhammer 40k that introduced me to Sabaton. But aside from that, a few years ago, I was looking up WH40K inspired music videos; one of which was about the Horus Heresy and the song being played was none other than Sabaton's Last Stand. So, yeah, I gotta thank an old friend who introduced me to WH40K that introduced me to Sabaton, which in turn has returned me back to fold of that is Metal.
I am Swiss myself and The Last Stand was the first Sabaton Song i ever heard and since then I absolutly Love Sabaton. Sadly the Story of the Sack of Rome is nearly unmentioned in Swiss schools, so i realy aprechiate how Famous this Song (thanks to the Memes) has become. And if you are looking for some crazy against all ods Battles and Last Stands, the Swiss got Tonnes of it. Morgarten, Sempach, Murten, Bourgandian Wars, Maringano, Storm of the Tuilleriens during the French Revolution, Battle at the Beresina during Napoleons retreat Form Russia, and more.
Caspar Röist, who was the commander at the time of the last stand, died during the battle, was Born in Zurich. When Sabaton played The Last Stand at their Show back in February in Zurich.. THAT was Special! Thank you for that!
A suggestion for the anniversery: Have fans submit subjects (battles, wars, historical figures, etc. anything that is somewhat in line with what Sabaton have made so far), and have Indy shortly sum up the interesting parts of the submitted subject, and then have the band discuss if there is a Sabaton song hidden in that particular story. Of course big bonus if the band can come up with the spark of a song on the spot (small piece of lyrics, a guitar riff that fits, or anything else) I know this could be very tough and time consuming to do, but I think it would be fun to watch, and might shine a bit of extra light on the creative process of Sabaton.
This is a true Sabaton song: -Talks about war -Guitars and synths on the riff -Key change in the last chorus -Singable chorus -Harmony solos Could we ever ask for more? (Perhaps an "oh-oh" section?)
80 % of a people dead in a city dead... Damn... And please release a bloopers video! My year's been hell so, whenever I see the number of the episode, I get frustrated (8 more weeks and it's been a year of this awesome channel!). And, as always, keep up the great work, folks! From the other side of the line, we're thankful!!
This is just perfect! I visited Rome for the weekend and was listening to this song while waiting in line to tour Vatican City. After that I visited Castel Saint'Angelo too. I love The Last Stand. Sabaton and Time Ghost is the best collaboration ever. Love you guys, thanks for the videos!
A Sabaton meme is what got me into this band in the first place. Over two years ago i saw a Webm of a corgi jumping through a lot of snow while playing "INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH". Then I saw in the comments of that video people praising the band and they sent links to this song "last Stand" and "Night Witches" and i have since then fallen in love with this band.
Jag älskar den här låten, det är en av Sabaton s Firsts jag har hört och det är fortfarande en av mina favoriter (I tried Swedish, tell me if there's Something wrong ^^)
Can't watch yet, I am in a train on my way back home from the Cruise and Germany is famous for its slow internet 😂 Still, none of my videos (well, maybe Winged Hussars) had more racist comments than the one about the Swiss Guard's last stand. I really hope it will be different here.
At least your videos are just lyrics (great ones too thank you) but the only comments I can imagine have it worst was Knight SGC’s music video, which you guessed it, is a about the crusades
Few things are greater than listening to this while going through a Vatican Tour (oh and seeing the Swiss Guard marching on Swiss National day) true story
Its so weird that of all the things that got me into Sabaton it WAS the crusade memes with this song, random videos with knights, For Honor meme videos with this song playing as the unofficial anthem of the Knight faction. I have to say ive entirely fallen in love with this bands music and this channel. History was always my favorite subject so these songs always interested me so much and learning more about each of them is amazing to me and I really do hope it continues!
A friend from work had been trying to get me to listen to Sabaton for a while now and man, I'm really impressed by the quality of the vocal sound, and riffs.

More fun facts about the Swiss Guard: The graduation ceremony of new Guardsmen is held on the day of the sacrifice of their forebears during this battle.

@johnsantilli7096
Curious as to why?
Rome is just one of those cities that really can't catch a break it seems.
Let's just say it had its ups and downs.
@@SabatonHistory to say it midly :)

I‘m Swiss and surprisingly I can learn some of our history due to Sabaton songs and their history channel. Great band! Seen them live several times. I like how Sabaton adresses history in their songs. There is so much we can learn from it.
I'm waiting for the Vatican to invite Sabaton to sing this song in the year 2027 on a festival to honor the swiss guards
It was this song and my love the Swiss guard that got me first listening Sabaton. I was in my what courage you could cake and to stand up to those odds is fully knowing what it meant. I remember listening to this song for the first time and thinking about the Swiss guard, I pause the video and did my reception and sure enough it was soon after I was listening to the other masterpieces.
I like the story you told in the beginning about the Swiss forming from the Templars.
I've waited almost a whole year to say that this was first Sabaton song that I ever heard, followed by Winged Hussars, Carolus Rex, Sparta, Lost Battalion, and Manowar (which introduced me to that band as well). For the story behind how I came across Last Stand.... It was Warhammer 40k that introduced me to Sabaton.
But aside from that, a few years ago, I was looking up WH40K inspired music videos; one of which was about the Horus Heresy and the song being played was none other than Sabaton's Last Stand.
So, yeah, I gotta thank an old friend who introduced me to WH40K that introduced me to Sabaton, which in turn has returned me back to fold of that is Metal.
Wait... I just noticed Indy's mug in the beginning of the episode! Is he drinking out of a meme of himself?
Nice catch!
Hands up if you want that mug! ✋ Seriously you guys need to sell that. I'll buy ten!
I hereby demand we have a 1 hour or longer blooper reel for the one year anniversary
I am Swiss myself and The Last Stand was the first Sabaton Song i ever heard and since then I absolutly Love Sabaton. Sadly the Story of the Sack of Rome is nearly unmentioned in Swiss schools, so i realy aprechiate how Famous this Song (thanks to the Memes) has become. And if you are looking for some crazy against all ods Battles and Last Stands, the Swiss got Tonnes of it. Morgarten, Sempach, Murten, Bourgandian Wars, Maringano, Storm of the Tuilleriens during the French Revolution, Battle at the Beresina during Napoleons retreat Form Russia, and more.
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
Not even Pär:
JK. Everyone: *THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE*
Honest question: When the Winged Hussars arrive?
A winged hussar is never early, nor is he late, he arrives exactly at the last climactic moment when Vienna needs him most
@@Arbiter099 Not in 1529, two years after the sack of Rome.
In 1683, 156 years later
We remember, in September.
I have been so looking forward for this also I liked how the templar joke at first was about how many confuse and asociate this song with crusades.
Caspar Röist, who was the commander at the time of the last stand, died during the battle, was Born in Zurich. When Sabaton played The Last Stand at their Show back in February in Zurich.. THAT was Special! Thank you for that!
I'll take this message to the guys!

A suggestion for the anniversery: Have fans submit subjects (battles, wars, historical figures, etc. anything that is somewhat in line with what Sabaton have made so far), and have Indy shortly sum up the interesting parts of the submitted subject, and then have the band discuss if there is a Sabaton song hidden in that particular story.
Of course big bonus if the band can come up with the spark of a song on the spot (small piece of lyrics, a guitar riff that fits, or anything else)
I know this could be very tough and time consuming to do, but I think it would be fun to watch, and might shine a bit of extra light on the creative process of Sabaton.
This is a true Sabaton song:
-Talks about war
-Guitars and synths on the riff
-Key change in the last chorus
-Singable chorus
-Harmony solos
Could we ever ask for more?
(Perhaps an "oh-oh" section?)
Vinicius Saito But the song isn’t about tanks
@@JojokimVT shit das true ;-;,... but its about medieval times so... that a win? :D
And if we are talking tanks, we have Panzerkampf uwu
>we're gonna do more crusades
NON NOBIS DOMINE!
AVE MARIA! DEUS VULT!
Only to be coutered by Got mit Uns
List of Crusades
You can help by *expanding it!*
oh boy, what a good song, good memes and good episode! thank you guys!
You're welcome!
Swiss guards: "FOR THE POPE!!!"
Imperials:"FOR OUR PAY!!!!!!"
The Last Stand is essentially just D&D Paladins in music form.
I honestly thought "the last stand " was about the third crusade. The real story is more honorable.
80 % of a people dead in a city dead... Damn...
And please release a bloopers video! My year's been hell so, whenever I see the number of the episode, I get frustrated (8 more weeks and it's been a year of this awesome channel!).
And, as always, keep up the great work, folks! From the other side of the line, we're thankful!!
"We gonna do more crusades"
DEUS VULT
No
You must defend Pope, not attacking holy land
@@thewanderingdoomed4883 *reclaiming
30 seconds in this is great!
"We've gotta do more crusades"
AMEN BROTHER
This is just perfect! I visited Rome for the weekend and was listening to this song while waiting in line to tour Vatican City. After that I visited Castel Saint'Angelo too. I love The Last Stand. Sabaton and Time Ghost is the best collaboration ever. Love you guys, thanks for the videos!
Thanks!
A Sabaton meme is what got me into this band in the first place. Over two years ago i saw a Webm of a corgi jumping through a lot of snow while playing "INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH". Then I saw in the comments of that video people praising the band and they sent links to this song "last Stand" and "Night Witches" and i have since then fallen in love with this band.
This was the first song heard from Sabaton. Now I have the song memorized.
Jag älskar den här låten, det är en av Sabaton s Firsts jag har hört och det är fortfarande en av mina favoriter (I tried Swedish, tell me if there's Something wrong ^^)
Can't watch yet, I am in a train on my way back home from the Cruise and Germany is famous for its slow internet 😂
Still, none of my videos (well, maybe Winged Hussars) had more racist comments than the one about the Swiss Guard's last stand. I really hope it will be different here.
Ja !!! The german Internet...🙄😇
Liebe grüsse Alex🤘
Gegen Rassismus !!!
We all stand together 🤘
At least your videos are just lyrics (great ones too thank you) but the only comments I can imagine have it worst was Knight SGC’s music video, which you guessed it, is a about the crusades
Danny Medina “the worst”
The worst in what?
Piscator There was no racist comments.
You deleted comments you got butthurt about.
Oh Piscator, you know that's just not possible.
0:25 did anyone else catch that? Par just officially confirmed that Sabaton will be leading the next crusade!
Sabaton History always makes me happy.
....and the the Winged Hussars arrived!
This is one of my favorite songs, and this was uploaded on my birthday.
Thanks for the present everyone!
Congrats! I hope you had a great day!
Few things are greater than listening to this while going through a Vatican Tour (oh and seeing the Swiss Guard marching on Swiss National day) true story
My brain must really love the Last Stand and Crusaders, because I think I can hear the song jamming away whilst they are talking in silence lol 😂😂😂
We can think of far worse earworms than those two 😎
Thanks! I always wanted to know the story behind this song, but I was too lazy to look it up myself.
Well, now you have it! Enjoy
I love how with each consecutive episode the second half of the video just gets more and more off topic.
40:00 I can't hear this tune without thinking of the Metatron
The song that plays in the background from 0:37 to 0:57 is Knights Templar 1 - Johannes Bornlöf
The opening absolutely killed me! I love it! Ah, when Sabaton references memes about them it only makes things better!
Are we surprised though? They have always embraced the Swedish Pagans, Winged Hussars, and Noch Ein Beer memes.
Its so weird that of all the things that got me into Sabaton it WAS the crusade memes with this song, random videos with knights, For Honor meme videos with this song playing as the unofficial anthem of the Knight faction. I have to say ive entirely fallen in love with this bands music and this channel. History was always my favorite subject so these songs always interested me so much and learning more about each of them is amazing to me and I really do hope it continues!
Your content is amazing, I'm enjoing in EVERY video you make!
God bless Indy and Sabaton!
Thanks a bunch! Awesome that you like it!
A friend from work had been trying to get me to listen to Sabaton for a while now and man, I'm really impressed by the quality of the vocal sound, and riffs.
I love how Indy tells the story like he'd been there himself
Not just honor guard but his holy fathers personal bodyguard even in foreign visits.
IN THE HEART OF THE HOLY SEE
IN THE HOME OF CHRISTIANITY
THE SEAT OF POWER IS IN DANGER
@@ДарханМахмутов-о6й THERE'S A FOE OF A THOUSAND SWORDS!!
THEY 'VE BEEN ABANDONED BY THE LORDS
THEIR FALL FROM GRACE WILL PAVE THEIR PATH, TO DAMNATION
Could've fooled me. I totally thought this was about the Crusades. Maybe that'd make a good future song.
Same until the end part
