Charles V (1500-1558), King of Spain (1516-1556) and Holy Roman Emperor (1519-1556) is one of the most interesting and perplexing of the great European monarchs. The son of Philip the Handsome (son of the the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian I) and Joanna the Mad (daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain), he became King of Spain at a time when the Valois and Habsburgs were involved in bitter disputes over northern European territories. When he was elected Holy Roman Emperor and united to the old Habsburg lands the empire of Spain, it seemed that the family might well be on the way to the universal monarchy. of Charles V it may truthfully be said that he ruled an empire on which the sun never set. he set out with high aims and ideals but found himself overwhelmed. The demands of ruling over the greatest number of territories ever accumulated by any European ruler role and the seeming impossibility of achieving peace in Europe proved too great, and the disillusioned Emperor retired to the monastery of San Yuste, where legend has it his ghost continues to advise the Spanish monarchs. This book offers a chance to see Charles against the background of turmoil and unprecedented European expansion. It is an important study in ideas of kingship and dynasty, showing the last medieval emperor defending the ideals of Christian Christendom.

'Charles V: Duty and Dynasty' explores the life of 16th century Europe's most influential (but not best known) monarch. Charles' inheritance from the leading dynasties of Europe has never been equalled - by the age of 20 he was Holy Roman Emperor, King of Spain (including its American colonies) and much of Italy, as well as ruler of the Low Countries of his birth. The book follows Charles' upbringing and education, his coming to power, his marriage and family life (made difficult by his almost constant travelling), and his dealings with individuals that loom large in history - Henry VIII, Medici popes, Martin Luther, Hernan Cortes, Titian. It investigates his character and his fundamental beliefs - what drove him on, what influenced his momentous decisions, the apparent contradictions, and why he abdicated to spend his last years in a small Spanish monastery.It also introduces the great issues of the day - the challenge to the Catholic Church, how monarchs could finance their ever increasing expenditure, the changing nature of warfare, and in particular the relations between Charles and his rival monarchs - Francis I, Henry VIII and Suleiman. These may be characterised as a kaleidoscope of alliances - sometimes with laudable aims, often involving duplicitous agreements and frequently resulting in an open disregard for what had been signed. It should appeal to all who are interested in the 16th century, in the life of a complex individual, or keen to learn lessons from the past.

This “elegant and engaging” biography dramatically reinterprets the life and reign of the sixteenth-century Holy Roman Emperor: “a masterpiece” (Susannah Lipscomb, Financial Times). The life of Emperor Charles V (1500–1558), ruler of Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and much of Italy and Central and South America, has long intrigued biographers. But capturing the nature of this elusive man has proven notoriously difficult—especially given his relentless travel, tight control of his own image, and the complexity of governing the world’s first transatlantic empire. Geoffrey Parker, one of the world’s leading historians of early modern Europe, has examined the surviving written sources in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, as well as visual and material evidence. In Emperor, he explores the crucial decisions that created and preserved this vast empire, analyzes Charles’s achievements within the context of both personal and structural factors, and scrutinizes the intimate details of the ruler’s life for clues to his character and inclinations. The result is a unique biography that interrogates every dimension of Charles’s reign and views the world through the emperor’s own eyes.

This book examines the three dimensions of European warfare, based on the campaigns of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558). Charles's role as commander-in-chief is evaluated by measuring his strategic aims. The process by which bankers took control of the finances of the Habsburg lands becomes clear from an examination of the source of the money to pay for Charles's campaigns. Finally, a comparison of the realms that provided most of Charles's revenues shows how some parliamentary bodies successfully pursued long-term local interests by exploiting the dynasty's need for money.
