The Stand of the Swiss Guard took place during the sacking of Rome on May 6, 1527, when the Pope's 189 Swiss Guard held off the mutinous troops of Charles V's army. They stood their ground against insurmountable odds just long enough for Pope Clement VII to escape.

Perfect for fans of Renaissance/military history and Catholicism.
