Haasse Sack of Rome (1527) The Sack of Rome on 6 May 1527 was a military event carried out by the mutinous troops of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in Rome, then part of the Papal States. It marked a crucial imperial victory in the conflict between Charles and the League of Cognac (1526–1529) — the alliance of France, Milan, Venice, Florence and the Papacy. Pope Clement VII had given his support to the Kingdom of France in an attempt to alter the balance of power in the region, and free the Papacy from dependency, i.e. a growing weakness to "Imperial domination" by the Holy Roman Empire (and the Habsburg dynasty). The army of the Holy Roman Emperor defeated the French army in Italy, but funds were not available to pay the soldiers. The 34,000 Imperial troops mutinied and forced their commander, Charles III, Duke of Bourbon and Constable of France, to lead them towards Rome. Apart from some 6,000 Spaniards under the Duke, the army included some 14,000 Landsknechts under Georg von Frundsberg, some Italian infantry led by Fabrizio Maramaldo, the powerful Italian cardinal, Pompeio Colonna and Luigi Gonzaga, and also some cavalry under command of Ferdinando Gonzaga and Philibert, Prince of Orange. Though Martin Luther himself was not in favor of it, some who considered themselves followers of Luther's Protestant movement viewed the Papal capital as a target for religious reasons, and shared with the soldiers a desire for the sack and pillage of a very rich city that appeared to be an easy target. Numerous bandits, along with the League's deserters, joined the army during its march. The Duke left Arezzo on 20 April 1527, taking advantage of the chaos among the Venetians and their allies after a revolt which had broken out in Florence against the Medici. In this way, the largely undisciplined troops sacked Acquapendente and San Lorenzo alle Grotte, and occupied Viterbo and Ronciglione, reaching the walls of Rome on 5 May. Contents. The Sack [ edit | edit source ] The troops defending Rome were not at all numerous, consisting of 8,000 militiamen led by Renzo di Ceri including 2,000 Papal Swiss Guard and 2,000 of Giovanni de' Medici's Bande Nere. [1] The city's fortifications included the massive walls, and it possessed a good artillery force, which the Imperial army lacked. Duke Charles needed to conquer the city hastily, to avoid the risk of being trapped between the besieged city and the League's army. On 6 May, the Imperial army attacked the walls at the Gianicolo and Vatican Hills. Duke Charles was fatally wounded in the assault, allegedly shot by Benvenuto Cellini. The Duke was wearing his famous white cloak to mark him out to his troops, but it also had the unintended consequence of pointing him out as the leader to his enemies. The death of the last respected command authority among the Imperial army caused any restraint in the soldiers to disappear, and they easily captured the walls of Rome the same day. Philibert of Châlon took command of the armies, but he was not as popular or feared, leaving him with little authority. One of the Swiss Guard's most notable hours occurred at this time. Almost the entire guard was massacred by Imperial troops on the steps of St Peter's Basilica. Of 189 guards on duty only the 42 who accompanied the pope survived, but the bravery of the rearguard ensured that Pope Clement VII escaped to safety, down the Passetto di Borgo , a secret corridor which still links the Vatican City to Castel Sant'Angelo. Sack of Rome. 6 May 1527. By Martin van Heemskerck (1527). After the brutal execution of some 1,000 defenders of the Papal capital and shrines, the pillage began. Churches and monasteries, as well as the palaces of prelates and cardinals, were looted and destroyed. Even pro-Imperial cardinals had to pay to save their properties from the amok soldiers. On 8 May, Cardinal Pompeo Colonna, a personal enemy of Clement VII, entered the city. He was followed by peasants from his fiefs, who had come to avenge the sacks they had suffered by Papal armies. However, Colonna was touched by the pitiful conditions of the city and hosted in his palace a number of Roman citizens. After three days of ravages, Philibert ordered the sack to cease, but few obeyed. In the meantime, Clement remained a prisoner in Castel Sant'Angelo. Francesco Maria della Rovere and Michele Antonio of Saluzzo arrived with troops on 1 June in Monterosi, north of the city. Their cautious behaviour prevented them from obtaining an easy victory against the now totally undisciplined Imperial troops. On 6 June, Clement VII surrendered, and agreed to pay a ransom of 400,000 ducati in exchange for his life; conditions included the cession of Parma, Piacenza, Civitavecchia and Modena to the Holy Roman Empire (however, only the latter could be occupied in fact). At the same time Venice took advantage of his situation to capture Cervia and Ravenna, while Sigismondo Malatesta returned in Rimini. Aftermath [ edit | edit source ] Emperor Charles V was greatly embarrassed by the fact that he had been powerless to stop his troops [ citation needed ] striking against Pope Clement VII and imprisoning him. Some may argue that Charles was partially responsible for the sack of Rome, because he expressed his desire for a private audience with Pope Clement VII and his men took action into their own hands. Clement VII was to spend the rest of his life trying to steer clear of conflict with Charles V, avoiding decisions that could displease him. Without any qualms and without conditions, Clement VII agreed to cede the worldly and political possessions of the bishopric of Utrecht to the Habsburgs. In the view of many at the time and since, fear of a repeat of the sack of Rome, along with the Pope's virtual imprisonment as a result of it, made it impossible for him to offend the Emperor by granting England's King Henry VIII the annulment that he sought of his marriage to the Emperor's aunt Catherine of Aragon, so Henry eventually broke with Rome, thus leading to the English Reformation. [2] [3] This event marked the end of the Roman Renaissance, damaged the papacy's prestige and freed Charles V's hands to act against the Reformation in Germany and against the rebellious German princes allied with Luther. Nevertheless, Martin Luther commented: "Christ reigns in such a way that the Emperor who persecutes Luther for the Pope is forced to destroy the Pope for Luther" (LW 49:169). The population of Rome dropped from some 55,000 before the attack, to a meagre 10,000. An estimated 6,000 to 12,000 people were murdered. Many Imperial soldiers also died in the following months (they remained in the city until February 1528) from diseases caused by the large number of unburied dead bodies in the city. The pillage only ended when, after eight months, the food ran out, there was no one left to ransom and plague appeared. [4] In commemoration of the Sack and the Guard's bravery, recruits to the Swiss Guard are sworn in on 6 May every year. Hella S. Haasse.

Haasse , in full Hélène Serafia Van Lelyveld-Haasse , (born February 2, 1918, Batavia, Dutch East Indies [now Jakarta, Indonesia]— died September 29, 2011, Amsterdam, Netherlands), Dutch novelist noted for her innovative historical fiction. Haasse studied at the Amsterdam Toneelschool, a dramatic arts school, and published a volume of poetry, Stroomversnelling (1945; “Fast Current”). In her first novella, Oeroeg (1948), she explored race relations in the Dutch East Indies; she later returned to that setting in the novels Heren van de thee (1992; The Tea Lords ) and Sleuteloog (2002; “Eye of the Key”). Her first historical novel, Het woud der verwachting (1949; In a Dark Wood Wandering ), is about Charles d’Orléans, a French nobleman taken prisoner by the English in 1415. Giovanni Borgia, a 16th- century Italian aristocrat, is the subject of De scharlaken stad (1952; The Scarlet City ), which is narrated with unusual shifts of perspective among characters. Born into the family that produced the debauched Lucrezia and brutal Cesare, and possibly the son of a pope, Giovanni seeks an identity apart from his infamous kin. Haasse revived the Marchioness of Merteuil (from Choderlos de Laclos’s novel Les Liaisons dangereuses ) in Een gevaarlijke verhouding of Daal- en-Bergse brieven (1976; “A Dangerous Liaison, or Letters from Daal-en-Berg”). In novels about the Dutch aristocrat Charlotte-Sophie Bentinck, Onverenigbaarheid van karakter (1978; “Incompatibility of Character”) and De groten der aarde (1981; “Great Figures of History”), Haasse used a collage form, with authentic documents, to tell her story. Haasse also wrote the play Een draad in het donker (1963; “A Thread in the Dark”), based on the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, and autobiographical works, including Zelfportret als legkaart (1954; “Self-Portrait as Jigsaw Puzzle”). Het tuinhuis (“The Garden House”), a short-story collection, was published in 2006. Hella Haasse. Hélène "Hella" Serafia Haasse (2 February 1918 – 29 September 2011) [1] was a Dutch writer, often referred to as "the Grand Old Lady" of Dutch literature, [2] and whose novel Oeroeg (1948) was a staple for generations of Dutch schoolchildren. [3] Her internationally acclaimed magnum opus is "Heren van de Thee" , translated to "The Tea Lords" .

  • Dutch - Indonesian Language Mixing in Jakarta
    Dutch - Indonesian language mixing in Jakarta Herman Giesbers 1. Introduction Within the field of language contact and language change we see an increasing interest in the phenomenon of language mixing or language intertwining (Bakker 1992). See e.g. Bakker & Mous (1994) for a recent overview of several mixed languages. Bakker (1992:187) proposes a definition of a mixed language as '(•••) a language which shows positive genetic similarities, in significant numbers, with two different languages.' Such mixed languages can be related to two different language families. However, they differ from Pidgins and Creoles in that they combine the grammar of an existing language A with the lexicon of a language B. Thus, the central process in language intertwining is not replacement, but combination. Which language is language A or B is totally determined by social factors. Language A providing the grammatical system for the mixed language, is always the better known language, which is also the language of the closest outsiders. In general, this language A is the language of the mothers in mixed families while language B providing the lexicon, is the language of the fathers. Bakker predicts from this model of intertwining that in a mixed language the grammar (syntax, morphology, phonology) is from language A, the lexicon from language B, and "free grammatical morphemes" or "function words" from both or from either of the languages. Another way to look at the process of language mixing is suggested by Myers-Scotton (1992). She claims that her Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model of code-switching can also account for other manifestations of language contact including the formation of 'new' languages.

  • Renaissance Diplomacy in Practice: the Case of Gregorio Casali, England’S Ambassador to the Papal Court, 1525-33
    Renaissance diplomacy in practice: the case of Gregorio Casali, England’s ambassador to the papal court, 1525-33 Catherine Lucy Fletcher Royal Holloway, University of London Thesis presented for the award of PhD 1 I confirm that the work contained in this thesis is entirely my own. Catherine Fletcher 23 April 2008 2 Abstract THIS thesis investigates the day-to-day practice of Renaissance diplomacy through a case-study of Gregorio Casali, one of a number of Italians in the Roman diplomatic corps who served foreign princes, in Casali’s case King Henry VIII of England. It outlines and analyses the key elements of the resident ambassador’s role, shifting the focus of study from the traditional emphasis on official negotiations and such formal sites for the exercise of power to consider too informal relationships and arenas for diplomacy. Chapters consider the diplomat’s role in Rome (the most developed diplomatic centre of its day); the relevance of family and friendship networks in Casali’s career; the importance of hospitality and liberality in diplomatic life; gift- giving and ‘bribery’. Drawing on recent scholarship relating to such issues as the house, household and gift-giving, the thesis situates Renaissance diplomacy in its broader social context. It thus contributes to the new trend among historians of diplomacy to adopt methods from social and cultural history, but, in applying the methodology of microhistory, takes this to a new level. As well as raising new questions about the role of the resident ambassador and his interaction with other diplomatic and political actors, the case of Casali and his family draws attention to the important issue of the employment of foreigners in diplomatic service during this period, allowing a consideration of how loyalty was understood and allegiances were managed.

IN presenting a general view of the incidents of the so-called Peasants War of 1525, the historian encounters more than one difficulty peculiar to the subject. He has, in the first place, a special trouble in preserving the true proportion in his narrative. Now, proportion is always the crux in historical work, but here, in describing a more or less spontaneous movement over a wide area, in which movement there are hundreds of differ-^/ ent centres with each its own story to tell, it is indeed hard to know at times what to include and what to leave out. True, the essential ^ similarity in the origin and course of events renders a recapitulation of the different local risings unnecessary and indeed embarrassing for readers whose aim is to obtain a general notion. But the author always runs the risk of being waylaid by some critic in ambush, who will accuse him of omitting details that should have been recorded.
