This is an extract from a historical document, and I hope someone out there can give me an acceptable rendering describing what is done. Clearly, the Emperor is telling everyone that the city of Magdeburg is not a healthy place to be, but how would we put it in English, please?
This is an article based on Luther and the Reformation.
Karl V., spanischer König und deutscher Kaiser in einer Person, verhängte über Magdeburg, diese letzte Bastion des neuen Glaubens, 1548 die Reichsacht. 1550/51 erfolgte die Belagerung der Stadt.

to impose the Imperial Ban over
