Product Description
The Reign of Charles V is an important new study of one of the most important rulers in world history. As the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain during the mid-1500s, Charles V ruled the first truly global empire and was the greatest of all the Habsburg emperors. Reigning dring one of the most important ages in the history of Europe and America, he was responsible for, among other things, the conquests of Mexico and Peru and the consequent European influence on Latin America, the waning of the Renaissance, the religious transformation of Europe by the Protestant and Catholic Reformations, and the establishment of a Habsburg empire in Eastern Europe.William Maltbys engaging new study looks at the emperor as a person and also examines such critical issues as his policies and their consequences. Concise and readable, The Reign of Charles VIprovides an indispensable introduction to an era that changed the world.
