In autumn 1526 Emperor Charles V sends German landsknechts under Georg von Frundsberg toward Rome, chased by Pope‑led forces of Giovanni de’ Medici in a harsh winter. The Imperial army crosses rivers; in a skirmish de’ Medici is hit by a falconet, later dies, and the Imperials then assault Rome. The film portrays the brutal reality of 16th‑century warfare and ends with commanders vowing to abandon fire‑arms because of their cruelty.
