…reaching the walls of Rome on May 5.
The troops defending Rome are not at all numerous, consisting of five thousand militiamen led by Renzo da Ceri and one hundred and eighty-six Papal Swiss Guard.
The city's fortifications include the massive walls, and it possessed a good artillery force, which the Imperial army lacks.
Duke Charles needs to conquer the city hastily, to avoid the risk of being trapped between the besieged city and the League's army.
