'The Education of Charles V' by Willem Geets, 1889.

An infographic of the seven times the city of Rome was sacked. Across more than 1,900 years (390 BCE–1527 CE), the sacks of Rome reveal not a single moment of collapse, but a recurring pattern of vulnerability shaped by shifting political systems, military power, and imperial overstretch. From the Republican era through the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and into the early modern period, Rome’s fortunes rose and fell with the structures meant to protect it.

The meeting helped pave the way for further diplomatic cooperation between England and the Habsburg emperor. A few days later, on July 14, 1520, Henry VIII and Charles V secretly agreed to the Treaty of Calais, a pact designed to strengthen their alliance and coordinate their interests against France. This period marked a high point in Tudor diplomacy as Henry sought to present England as a major power in Renaissance Europe.
