February 1500 in the Prince's Court, Ghent, Burgundian Netherlands; † 21 September 1558 in Cuacos de Yuste, Spain) was a member of the Habsburg dynasty and Holy Roman Emperor. After the early death of his father Philip I of Castile, Charles was sovereign of the Burgundian Netherlands, consisting of eleven duchies and counties, and from 1516 as Carlos I was the first king of Spain, more precisely of Castile, León and Aragón in personal union. In 1519 he inherited the Archduchy of Austria and was elected Roman-German king as Charles V. After his coronation in 1520 he (like his grandfather Maximilian I, who was never crowned emperor and his future successors) initially held the title "elect Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire". In 1520 he was crowned Roman-German king in the imperial cathedral in Aachen by the Archbishop of Cologne, Hermann V. von Wied. In 1530 he was the last Roman-German king to be crowned by Pope Clemens VII. crowned emperor and is thus after Friedrich III. the second and last Habsburg to be crowned by a pope. Charles pursued the imperial idea of universal monarchy, according to which the emperor had priority over Allen kings. He saw himself as a peacekeeper in Europe, protector of the West from the expansion of the Ottoman Empire under Süleyman I and as a defender and reformer of the Roman Catholic Church. In order to be able to enforce his hegemonic idea of rule, he waged numerous wars against the French King Francis I (Italian Wars). Charles was able to rely financially on his possessions in America (viceroyalty of New Spain, viceroyalty of Peru), but could not achieve his desired goal of permanently weakening France, which was temporarily allied with the Ottomans. In the Holy Roman Empire, Charles V tried in vain to strengthen the power of the monarch over the imperial estates in the long term. Due to the Reformation that began in 1517, which was partly supported by members of the Estates, and Charles' frequent absences due to the war, he was unable to prevent the Reformation movement from spreading. At times he tried to prevent the threatened confessional division of the empire by convening the Council of Trent (1545 to 1563), which, however, did not lead to the reconciliation of the religious parties, but after Charlemagne's death to the starting point of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. After the failure of his efforts to reach a compromise with the Protestants, Charles tried to dictate a solution to the religious conflict to the imperial estates in 1548 with the Augsburg Interim in the course of winning the Schmalkaldic War. As a result of the princely uprising that broke out and the French invasion associated with it, he was forced to recognize the coexistence of the denominations in the Passau Treaty (1552), which was regulated by the Augsburg Religious Peace (1555). With the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina written in 1532, Charles V issued the first general penal code in the Holy Roman Empire. In 1556, Charles resigned from his offices as a ruler and divided his dominions between his eldest son Philip II, who inherited the Spanish and Burgundian possessions, and his younger brother Ferdinand I, who had already received the Austrian hereditary lands in 1521 and who now also acquired the imperial title , on. As a result of this division, the House of Habsburg split into a Spanish (Casa de Austria) and an Austrian line (House of Habsburg-Austria). Charles died in 1558 in his palace next to the monastery of Yuste in Spain.Source: WikipediaIf combined shipping via eBay doesn't work, I will of course refund the overpaid shipping costs!
