Well, I went to have bath, and come back.

I wasn't sure if there's anyone still around, so decide to post one.

Ah, I see. So any research today?? You should really get this book. It is really interesting.

Minerva · Post by **Minerva** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 4:19 pm

Yeah, the book sounds really interesting...

I spent last two days in the public record office, and found some details of demands certain admiral made to the Pope. LOL

Admiral, making demands to the Pope.

How did the Pope take it?

Minerva · Post by **Minerva** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 4:24 pm

The Pope did not have money... well, at least, he told so to the Venetian and the English ambassadors. That was just a year after the Sack of Rome, so he wasn't in Rome... I think.

I thought that I read something, that the church hid a good portion away. Just before the sack took place.

The Pope first left to the Castle of Sant Angelo, which was connected to Vatican by secret corridor. So it is very likely they have moved money first. And religion always attract money.

Then, the admiral did ask huge amount as well as other conditions... because he was in a stronger position to the Pope, the Emperor and the French King.

How many times was Rome sacked?? two??

Minerva · Post by **Minerva** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 4:42 pm

I think so. When we call the Sack of Rome, it normally means the one in May 1527. But the Imperialists stayed there until Febrary next year, sacked the city again, then left. I cannot say they did not sack the city during there occupation, though.

Didn't Attila the Hun, get into Rome also??

Minerva · Post by **Minerva** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 4:53 pm

Oh, if you add the older one, I think he did. And Visigoth and Vandals.

Not a problem.

BTW, we are spamming up the surgery, and I suspect Doc won't be happy...

Darkpoet · Post by **Darkpoet** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 4:59 pm

Please, this isn't spam. We are stimulating our brains.

Minerva · Post by **Minerva** » Thu Apr 12, 2001 5:03 pm

That is true.

I think I'll leave a few questions to the Doc, though. To keep him busy.
