| How did the lineage of Emperor Charles V shape the Holy Roman Empire and the broader European political landscape? This book examines the lineage of Emperor Charles V, one of the most powerful rulers of the early modern period. The narrative explores his birth as the son of Philip the Handsome and Joanna the Mad, positioning him as the heir to both the Habsburg and Spanish thrones. The book delves into Charles’s role in overseeing vast territories, from Spain to the Holy Roman Empire, and his efforts to defend Catholicism during the Reformation. By analyzing his royal lineage and the challenges of ruling over such a diverse empire, the book explores how Charles V’s reign influenced the politics of 16th-century Europe and set the stage for the eventual division of his empire. |
