Answer:

Courtiers and palace staff were not spared either. By the end of the day, some 650 Swiss Guards were dead, while the remaining 250 were captured, beaten and thrown into the city's prisons. Four weeks later, almost all of the guards who survived the carnage of August 10th were killed during the September Massacres.

Answer:

The defenders were ordered to disengage. The main body of Swiss Guards fell back through the palace and retreated under fire through the gardens at the rear of the building.
