Synopsis

A sweeping view of an era when papal power collided with empire and war.

This volume charts the climactic years of Clement VII’s papacy, tracing how Rome and Italy faced invasion, famine, and shifting alliances. Read how diplomacy, loyalty, and power shaped the fate of the church and the Italian states during a turbulent late medieval to early modern period.

Two in-depth sections illuminate the road to reconciliation between the Emperor and the Pope, the bargains struck at Barcelona and Cambrai, and the dramatic meeting at Bologna that crowned Charles V and reshaped Italian politics. The narrative centers on pivotal decisions, shifting loyalties, and the cost of leadership in a time of war and upheaval.

  • The stakes of alliance-building between Rome, the Empire, and Italian city-states.
