Sac De Rome by Jacopo Buonaparte. This English-language edition presents Jacques Bonaparte's Italian chronicle of the 1527 Sack of Rome, translated for an English-speaking audience. The narrative recounts how Pope Clement VII, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and France's François I navigated a Europe-wide struggle for power, culminating in the brutal sacking of the city. Structured in two parts, the work first explains the rise of the Constable Bourbon and the broader political context, then details the actual Sack of the City. A prefatory note by the Cologne editor praises the author's fidelity, and genealogical notes trace the Bonaparte family. The text documents Bourbon's rapid march on Rome, the siege, the plundering of palaces and churches, the brutal treatment of Roman citizens and clergy, the spread of famine and plague, and the pope's eventual escape. It remains a detailed primary-source-like account of one of Italy's most tragic episodes.
