Perhaps the greatest testament to who won that day: there are no more German Landsknecht and no more Italian Condottieri... but there still is a Pontifical Swiss Guard, still guarding his Holiness. :)

[@Apokalypse456]

dont forget there are no more irish Hobilares or English Longbowmen either. just as relevant as what you said.

[@prince-electorsnoo2540]

Well that is meaningless. If Landsknecht would use modern equipment and Germany wouldnt have a ban on mercenaries theyd also still exist.

[@SusCalvin]

The powers of Europe starts to think that having large groups of men around with dubious loyalties and mercenary intentions is destabilizing. Nations learn how to nation-state and create great national armies. It's not an instant process, mercenaries still fill out the ranks but they start to learn how conscription into service and centralization works.

The Swiss Guard is the oldest surviving army in this century. For me the Swiss Guards are not just the guardians of the papacy, they are the guardians of European history and culture. For me the Swiss Guard is a symbol the long history of Christianity. The Swiss Guard is the most loyal and dedicated army because they exist for 5 centuries of this World's history and the Swiss Guard have never failed in their duty to protect the Pope and the history of Christianity. GOD bless Swiss Guard till forever!!!

[@meias.]

This is a Bunch of bullshit. Switzerland as a Country did not even exist back then. There were lots of smaller states, altough some of Them were allies already. They rarely fought Any wars, but that is just because we sent out mercenaries and everyone just kinda agreed to hire Them and leave switzerland alone.

[@gokbay3057]

Dreconit I think he means that Swiss Guard are mercenaries that fight for something greater. Because they were mercenaries. Who were catholic and worked for the Pope but in the end they were hired soldiers.

[@Tarik360]

It's quite amazing really, a High esteemed mercenary corps turned into what may be a real-life Holy Order. And Thanks for clarifying it to him, Gökce.

[@baumholderh8425]

would the Swiss guard count as mercenaries? They were all catholic which means they were in a away citizens of the holy see.

[@hannibalbarkas5110]

Tarik360 Because of our mercenary history, mercenary work got banned in Switzerland somewhere between 1890-1930. The Swiss Guard is an official army (guard) of the pope and with that no mercenaries. The Swiss mercenaries (Reisläufer) were strong, brutal and skilled farmers which wanted to earn money. The Swiss fought in the „Gewalthaufen“ a fast, mobile square with tons of spikes. They ran straight into their enemies and did what they could do best. Fighting. In some period of European warfare, the numbers of Swiss mercenaries that an army had made a big impact on the outcome of the war. Most European leaders had Swiss Guards (mercenaries). If you want to know more about Swiss war history, just ask. I know a „little bit“. ^^

Pat Narcise Long story aka wall of text or short story?

[@undertakernumberone1]

Short Story: he supported the french (after they gave him milan) to start a war that led to the landsknechts having to fight with barely any payment for months... and its not a good idea to frustrate the best mercenaries of your time... long story (read for better understanding): well during the Italian war of 1521 - 1526 the pope at first was allied with the HRE and the spanish... in a League against France, Venice and a few others who wanted to conquer stuff in italy that was part of the HRE (Spain back then was ruled by Charles V. who also was king of the HRE from the House of Habsburg) after Francis I captured Milan and gifted it to Clement VI. (by that time the pope after the one before him was it for one year...) the Papal States quickly changed their position and allied with France (despite one of the previous popes going the anti-french routes because of their alliance with the ottomans), even declaring Charles V. war for "unjust" (reminder... he went to war to defend the Empires posessions in Italy and was supported by the Pope before) so... after the battle of Pavia Francis of France was captured by Georg von Frundsberg, Landsknecht leader and called "Father of the Landsknechts" and hte Spanish... while prisoner he had to sign a peace treaty that gave the HRE some rather wealthy Cities... the tributes of which were intended to be used to pay... the mercenaries... since the Charles money was running low at that time the Mercenaries were to be payed with the tributes from those cities... After Charles was free again he quickly denounced the treaty and geared for war again... and Clement VI. supported him...so the peace treaty was void... no new cities for Charles... no payment for the Landsknechts... which by that time also had to care for themselves (food n stuff) Frundsberg (at that time in Germany again) raised a new Landsknecht army, a big bunch of which were protestants (like the ones still in italy) and so werent particulary fond of the pope to begin with... and crossed the alps... because of the bad state of the corwns purse he even sold his own silver ware and his wives jewelery... back in italy he unified these new troops with his old army this was at a time when the religious turmoil between Martin Luther and the Catholic church was broiling so... fast forward of a few months of warfare withotu decisive battles and irregular if any payment for the mercenaries...(the older ones NOT since PAVIA the year before the new war broke out) because of a war that might not have happened if a French king stood to his word or if the pope wouldnt have supported him... (or atleast they might've gotten payment if the pope would've stood at the HREs side)... during all this time (this and the war before)... they werent allowed to attack one certain enemy... the Pope... the Landknechts started a mutiny... they... wanted... their... money... (and i guess many here can understand it...)... up to that point the hope to sack rome held the troops together... start a siege and the pope surely wouldnt surrender the city... and then the law allowed them to plunder for 3 days... BUT there were rumours of an impeding peace treaty between the HRE and the Pope (if they were anything more than those i dont know)... so they started to demand their payment... Frundsberg tried to negotiate... for no avail.. the Landsknechts which he saw as and called his SONS werent persuaded... he suffered a stroke... which led the enraged Landsknechts without any leader whom the would really follow... nominally it now was Charles de Bourbon (who switched sides in the war before because differences between him and Francis)... yet he barely had any command... they first marched to Florence, but the city was well defended... and in the surrounding areas there was no food for the mercenaries... so they forced de Bourbon to lead them to Rome... a few italian Mercenaries that also werend fond of hte pope went along... one Cardinal (no Joke) and his mercenaries... bandits and all the stuff now we're at Rome... Clement tried to bribe Bourbon which he didnt accept nor would it 've used much... and the rest is history...

Pleased to see some pike formations here. I'm aware that the current Swiss Guard carry ceremonial halberds. But from my reading I'm confident that at the time of the sack of Rome, the Swiss were renowned (and in fact feared) as pikemen.

[@grimsithe]

Yeah they were feared against by the French who was still relying on Heavy cavalry but Spanish/Imperial troops had developed beyond pike tactics into pike and shot tactics and destroyed Swiss mercenaries consistently (battle of Fornova) ie battle of Bicoca

Thanks from Hellas! ;)

Ex Virtute Dei Defendam! (I WILL DEFEND it by the power of God!)✝️⚔🗡.

[@DarkOcultism-fu666ni]

From the 4 videos that are with this song i must say that this is the best so far because it has the accuarate representation of the song (almost) and i must say is nicely done my friend good work sabaton is proud of you.

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Haha thank you! :)

[@drjuancruz]

God bless those brave warriors! ... and Sabaton for this epic song!

[@Fireheart1945]

Speaking purely from a military standpoint, as a fighting unit, the Papal Guards did their duty. No one could have demanded more than what they did, and no one could have expected any less. They fulfilled their mission.

[@Simon-jb7ej]

that's why I will join them:), yes I'm swiss

[@mrowoofers101]

About time this song is used properly. This song is about courage and sacrifice, not reclaiming the holy land. Thank you Ταξιάρχης Δανέλης... however you pronounce that.

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

If you like it, share this video. Thank you very much! You could check my music video for "The Last Battle" about the battle for Castle Itter kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpi3gKKOaZqCZrM

[@gumbaaufmbuhuu900]

Really good. Better than the other Videos with Scenes from WW1 or WW2.

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Thank you very much! :)

[@baerghettrulmaelder6779]

Ωραιο βιντεο μαγκα. Μπραβο! :D

[@Freawulf]

Ωραία δουλειά κι αν μη τι άλλο σχετική με τη θεματική του κομματιού (όχι σαν τα ξεκάρφωτα με σκηνές από Β' Π.Π.!) Συγχαρητήρια!

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Ευχαριστώ πολύ παιδιά! Δεν είναι και το καλύτερο βίντεο αλλά σίγουρα όχι άσχετο με το τραγούδι. Αν θέλετε τσεκάρετε και το βιντεάκι για το The Last Battle. Προσπαθησα κι εκεί να αποδώσω όσο μπορούσα την ιστορία...

[@TomQuoVadis]

This is easily Sabaton's best work.

[@andreasnickmann370]

This, "Hearts of iron" and the "winged hussars" It's pretty close IMHO

[@miki7777777ful]

Well done my friend you made good Sabaton videos that match the songs, i will watch them all on your channel for your good work....

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Thank you my friend! :)

[@aaronkitzmann9419]

I was beginning to wonder how many people knew this song isn’t about the crusades. It’s good to inform people on that. Let them have their fun, just make sure they know what their actually listening to.

[@Henners1991]

Glad to see this instead of that stupidly out of place War Thunder trailer...

[@stefan4136]

Finally some proper video to this great song! Merci vielmals from Switzerland!

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Greetings from Hellas! :)

[@XecrNist]

Much better video than the one where WW2 material was used. Yours is much more accurate! I was planning to create mine, similar one - but wanted to use some scenes from "The Borgias" which would fit here ;)

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Good luck then ;)

[@JDahl-sj5lk]

Thanks for this, so many think this song is about the crusades. And this video was great, Nice footage!

[@85cadian]

I need a 10 hour version of this...

[@DoctroiusGaming]

Infinite version : Right click on the video and click on the fourth tab ( repeat )

[@85cadian]

ok didn't know that lol. Thank you

[@DoctroiusGaming]

85cadian You're welcome :D

[@zeus-odinchiefs6737]

Dont!!! It will expand the Swiss Guard from 500 to 500 Billion.

[@hernanortiz42]

Great video, I will share this video on facebook telling the swiss guard's story again ;)

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

That's right ;)

[@jorgeaguilera4329]

The immortal swiss guard.

[@ultrajd]

I’m sure 99% of the people that are watching this already know. But for those that don’t let their flamboyant outfits and medieval style weaponry fool you. Each and everyone of the men that make up the Swiss guard are highly trained soldiers. In many ways, they are also quite literally VMO successful executive protection detail in human history. Not a single individual who has held. The paper seat has been killed while under the protection of the Swiss guard. Even individuals like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were not stupid enough to try and kill the pope. These men are extremely skilled, Pius and very, very dedicated to their position. Many of these men becoming a member of the Swiss guard has probably been an ambition for much of their life. And if I ever called correctly to this day, the men who fell during the sack of Rome are regularly venerated. I myself am not Catholic. But even I can stop and appreciate the skill of these very brave individuals.

[@Razzlion]

I have no love for the faith, but anyone who is willing to face impossible odds and still stand his ground and face it with his head held high gets a massive pass in my book.

[@OoBloodyHunteroO]

Johan Johansson it was generally the difference between the swiss and other mercenaries. The swiss put a lot of value on oaths and honor. Even if fulfilling that oath meant death

[@yohanesberchmansw1399]

Johan Johansson well said

[@dobbelganger]

Johan Johansson I'm not religious but the truth is the truth, the swiss guard demonstrated real courage and that is admirable universally.

Lazerbear MK II Our country was founded with an oath. That’s why we call us „Eidgenossen“ „oath comrades“ (sounds better in German ^^).

[@Matt-vx3ow]

This is very well put together and goes great with the music. Thanks for making it. A very fitting tribute to the Swiss Guard. :)

[@rayalbertogutierrezbalanza4206]

My grand mother told me. Christian faith always will face persecution, but it never be defeat it. Deus vult/ Viva Cristo Rey

[@fiammanera22]

“When Christ at a symbolic moment was establishing His great society, He chose for its cornerstone neither the brilliant Paul nor the mystic John, but a shuffler, a snob, a coward - in a word, a man. And upon this rock He has built His Church, and the gates of Hell have not prevailed against it. All the empires and the kingdoms have failed, because of this inherent and continual weakness, that they were founded by strong men and upon strong men. But this one thing, the historic Christian Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link.” ― G.K. Chesterton, Heretics

[@fiammanera22]

Viva Cristo Rei! Vivat Christus Rex!

[@Nickl1610]

It's a shame that the song was used incorrectly in the original music video. It was made to honor the Swiss guard, which you have done, thank you.

[@iwanegerstrom4564]

One for all, all for God

[@otaku2310]

I am swiss and this gave me goosebumps :-) great video

[@Slayerlord0]

As a Protestant, I still think this song is amazing, and I'm glad to see it finally has a video that has something to do with its subject matter. Awesome job!

[@chrishansen1293]

HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE has joined the chat.

[@lordendo363]

Greetings from Poland. I love Sabaton;]

[@Pokesus]

the swiss guard is really op because they use our traiditional weapones and armors. (Im spanish) And im very happy to see how the Morion actually still being used for another countries. :'D And the clothes, and weapones... This make me happy. n.n

[@A1509MDIX]

Pretty sure they also use French made FEMAS assault rifles. But yes, as a descendant of the Spanish, I must also point of the Spanish melee weaponry.

[@uknown_history-7528]

glad to see a video thats actually about the song, thank you.

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

Thank you, too! :)

[@deusvult3103]

I cried...I shead a tear... Long live to the most loyal guard of all time. You are true guardian Angels. Thank you DEUS VULT

[@TzarTsar]

I like how this one doesn’t use completely unrelated crusade imagery.

[@Dimovuha222]

My favorite anime

[@ShallowTeal]

ikr

[@SuperBadadan]

Never, it's just gonna be anime girls and annoying protagonists.

[@DoctroiusGaming]

When is Corey in the House Remastered coming out already?

[@browntaxi7158]

+SuperBadadan it'll most likely be cute anime girls. The anime industry is into cute anime girls right now, so most likely we won't get cool male main protagonists in war type stuff because it'll be cute anime girls in a cute war like settings such as girls un panzar or Kantai collection. It'll just be a moe blob full of jokes and will never be serious....

[@maxstirnersego]

Tbh I'd watch that even though I don't like anime

[@renatacantoregross6283]

Thank you for you beautiful video about THE Most Valiant SWISS GUARD who guard the Pope.

[@gripen-swe]

Nice job! It's too bad we haven't got any good movies about the 1500's. If we had, you could've made an even better video. But this is as accurate we can get now. ;)

[@ΤαξιάρχηςΔανέλης]

It's true :( I tried to make a video which presents the sacrifice of the Swiss Guard during Sack of Rome, so I mixed some scenes from different movies and videos... This is the result, I hope that fans will like it, especially those who love history :)

[@gortrottelreiner4022]

Hm, there is "Flesh and Blood". Somewhat gory...

[@juanantoniogragasin1685]

Finally now the song sounds fitting. Can't believe I found this video 4 years later🤦‍♂️

[@shinoby7758]

IN THE NAMEEEEE OF GOOOOOOODDD!!!!

[@bennbastard5082]

It doesn't matter what the song is about what matters is that its awesome !!
