The pillage begins after the brutal execution …
Years: 1527 - 1527
May
The pillage begins after the brutal execution of some one thousand defenders of the Papal capital and shrines.
Churches and monasteries, as well as the palaces of prelates and cardinals, are looted and destroyed.
Even pro-Imperial cardinals have to pay to save their properties from the rampaging soldiers.
Cardinal Pompeo Colonna, a personal enemy of Clement VII, enters the city on May 8, followed by peasants from his fiefs, who have come to avenge the sacks they had suffered by Papal armies.
Colonna is touched, however, by the pitiful conditions of the city and hosts a number of Roman citizens in his palace.
