Some weeks ago Indy and Sabaton talked about the Spartans famous last stand at Thermopylae, today we turn towards another famous last stand by a small, elite unit completely outnumbered in our video on the 1527 Sack of Rome. We hope you like our newest video! Now, this video was made with the amazing support from our amazing Patrons. Without them this show literally wouldn't exist, so do head on to to help us continue to make content like this!
Cheers, the Sabaton History team!

"We have killed their leader, now they will surely surrender"
"THEY KILLED OUR PAYMASTER; FOR REVENGE!"

[Lobito-shi]

"He grew a beard as a sign of mourning"
Like, he grew a beard on the spot? Is this catholic pope magic?

[andenmil]

This is a great song about the crusa-
*THEN THE SWISS GUARDS ARRIVED*

[bmoney]

More fun facts about the Swiss Guard: The graduation ceremony of new Guardsmen is held on the day of the sacrifice of their forebears during this battle.

[TrollbaitMage]

Joakim has no bloopers because the winged Hussars arrived and saved him

[thatrandomguy]

I promise I won't get religious
*5 drinks later*
FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF OF OUR LORD

1 year anniversity: The history of Sabaton


about how the band was formed and evolved over the years

[Death_Korps_Officer]

Charles: *considers the current Pope his ally*
Pope: *has a little private chat with Francis*
Charles: *has changed his allegiance to enemy*
Charles: *has changed his religion to Lutheran*

[anttibjorklund]

"I'll get back to factual history now."

Please no, Contrafactual Indy sounds interesting.

[millerashton]

“The Last Stand isn’t about the crusades.”
*sad Templar noises*

[Bobcat_X]

Person: I don't like Sabaton
Me: Bold words for someone in Crusading range

[raven-dqox]

My favourite meme was:
*Conquistador sneezes*
Indy: "hundreds and thousands of deaths"

[luciussulla]

I think my favorite sabaton meme that i've seen is a picture of Joakim getting into a taxi and asking "Excuse me sir, what is the price of a mile."

[WPSent]

Rome is just one of those cities that really can't catch a break it seems.

[woadshaman]

In 2017, I visited the Vatican and walked from there to Castel Sant'Angelo. I was wearing a Sabaton shirt and found myself frequently thinking of this song.

[dutchessfury]

This is probably one of the catchiest songs ever...




And then the winged hussars arrived! 🤘🤘

[truesoprano]

This was basically Sabaton: Behind The Meme

Also, thanks Sabaton and TimeGhost for inspiring so many memes!

[starsword-c]

You guys should totally do a gag reel for the 1-year anniversary. Also, I was laughing at the Crusades gag.

[Big_E_Soul_Fragment]

Some people say heavy metal is Satanic. Clearly they never heard about this holy song.
