	Seattle Catholic - The Sack of Rome: 1527, 1776
		The Sack of Rome had its origins in the French-Spanish struggle for hegemony in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
		Rome and the stench of death became one.
		Fortunately for Rome, an effort was made to rebuild its walls with something more suitable and more sturdy than whatever happened to be merely familiar: a reaffirmation of the authentic and eternal Catholic Tradition, a deeper understanding of which revealed the flaws of the immediate past and indicated a surer path to a better future.

	Sack of Rome -- May 6, 1527: There are games in which the little guys just get run over by the big guys
		By spring of 1527, the Constable's army of Protestant mercenaries and Catholic regulars -- ostensibly part of the army of Charles V -- was moving southward.
		By the end of summer 1527, 45,000 Roman men, women, and children were gone, either fleeing as refugees or killed in the sack: no one has ever been able to determine the proportion of dead or missing.
		The army that sacked Rome surely belonged to Charles V, but he was far away and everything was way out of his control.

	Guicciardini, The Sack of Rome
		The Sack of Rome of 1527 is one of the best known events of Renaissance Italy.
		The Florentine Luigi Guicciardini, who was forty-nine of age when Rome was taken by storm, held the office of Gonfaloniere di Giustizia in 1527 and had his brother, the famous writer and historian Francesco, as lieutenant of the papal forces.
		In fact, in his opinion the sack of Rome is almost a natural outcome of the countless errors of the League of Cognac.
