What do you know about the Vatican Swiss Guard?

The Swiss Papal Guard protects the Pope. Wearing uniforms designed by Michelangelo and commonly armed with halberds, they are capable of using heavier weapons if needed. The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft.

Each member is Catholic, male, and Swiss and must complete military training in Switzerland. They must demonstrate good conduct and be at least five-foot-eight in height. The Swiss Papal Guard is the oldest active military unit in continual existence since 1506. They are willing to give their lives for the Pope, in extreme circumstances.
