Description
The new halberdiers of the famous Pontifical Swiss Guard have sworn allegiance to Pope Francis as members of the world's smallest army. The swearing-in ceremony of new Swiss guards traditionally takes place on May 6, the anniversary date of the defence of Pope Clement VII by this military body during the looting of Rome by the army of Charles V in 1527.
