Book Synopsis Charles V: Duty and Dynasty by : Richard Heath
Download or read book Charles V: Duty and Dynasty written by Richard Heath and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Henry VIII and Emperor Charles V both ruled for almost forty years at a time when momentous changes in society, politics and religion were taking place in England and across Europe. Richard Heath takes a fresh look at these two individuals and the importance of their relationship in determining both their immediate policies and the future of their lands. Although always rivals for status, Henry and Charles, despite their very different temperaments, had much in common. Both had been brought up as devout Christians and in the chivalric tradition. Ties between their lands (by 1520 Charles was Holy Roman Emperor as well as ruling Spain, the Low Countries and much of Italy) were close. There were alliances against a common enemy, France, valuable trading links and a personal connection – Henry was married to Charles’ aunt, Catherine of Aragon. The book provides a clear account of their complex and ever-changing relationship, both personal and political. It reveals the goodwill that existed between them, particularly during Emperor Charles’ lengthy state visit to England in 1522. It also shows how this proved impossible to maintain once Henry decided to end his marriage to Catherine and his subsequent rejection of papal authority. On the occasions when they planned military action together their alliance collapsed in mutual recriminations. Yet they were officially at war for only a few months and their armies never faced each other. The duplicitous world of international diplomacy, with dynastic marriages, fine words and broken promises, provides the backdrop to this fascinating story. In their search for honor and dynastic security, so important to both monarchs, the decisions of one could rarely be ignored by the other.

Book Synopsis The Reign of Charles V by : William Maltby

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should we remember the reign of Charles V? What happened in those years that altered the course of history and helped to shape the world we live in today? Few ages have been more important to the history of Europe and America than the reign of Charles V. Charles ruled the first truly global empire, his sovereignty extending beyond Spain to the Netherlands, much of Italy, the Americas, and the Holy Roman Empire. His life saw the waning of the Renaissance, the religious transformation of Europe by the Protestant and Catholic Reformations, and the emergence of Spain as a leading international power. At the same time, the conquests of Mexico and Peru, the establishment of a Habsburh empirein eastern Europe, and a series of wars with France, the Ottoman Empire and the German Protestants transformed European politics and the global economy. William Maltby's engaging new study not only looks at Charles V as a person, but also examines important critical issues: the emperor's policies and their consequences; the institional, economic and intellectual development of his various realms; and his military and diplomatic struggles. Concise and readable, it provides students and the general reader with an indispensable introduction to a reign that defies historical comparison, and an era that changed the world.
