00:00A nuevo pope es about to be elected.
00:04Pero quien protege a él?
00:06Los guardes de Swiss, cada uno de un hombre de Swiss.
00:09Aged entre 19 y 30.
00:11Measurado a menos 1.74 metros tall.
00:15Y entrenado en la army de Swiss.
00:17Pero por qué los guardes?
00:18Porque por más de 500 años, el pope ha relied a ellos.
00:22Sí, sus personales guardes han sido Swiss desde 1506.
00:25It all started when Pope Julius II asked for Swiss mercenaries to protect him.
00:30Why?
00:31Because in the 16th century, Swiss soldiers had a fierce reputation.
00:35Brave, loyal, and unbeatable.
00:38Even the Roman historian Tacitus said,
00:40the Helvetians are known for their fighting qualities.
00:43On 22nd January 1506,
00:45150 Swiss soldiers marched from the canton of Uri to Rome,
00:50entered the Vatican,
00:51and were blessed by Julius II himself.
00:53That's how the Swiss guard was born.
00:56Today, it's the same spirit, same mission,
00:59now with modern weapons and 3D-printed helmets.
01:03The Swiss guard,
01:04fiercely and faithfully protecting the pope for over five centuries.
