On May 5, 1527 Spanish, German, and Italian troops under the banner
of the Holy Roman Emperor swarmed into Rome. Until December, when
they were finally dispersed by plague, these troops plundered,
tortured, raped, and murdered in the defenseless capital of
Christendom. "The sack of Rome in 1527 was an event of tragic and
decisive importance. It brought the Renaissance, the greatest
period in Italian history, to its sudden and catastrophic end. We
are fortunate to possess many eyewitness accounts of this
extraordinary event. Only one contemporary account, however, offers
an overview of the political and military situation in Italy that
culminated in the sack of Rome. That account is here translated for
the first time." (Introduction) Illustrated, maps, introduction,
