Charles V
Charles V 1500-1558, Holy Roman emperor (1519-58) and, as Charles I, king of Spain (1516-56); son of
Philip I and Joanna of Castile, grandson of Ferdinand II of Aragón, Isabella of Castile, Holy Roman Emperor
Maximilian I, and Mary of Burgundy.
Early Years
Born at Ghent, Charles was brought up in Flanders by his aunt, Margaret of Austria , who was regent for him
in the Netherlands.
She and his tutor, Adrian of Utrecht (later Pope Adrian VI ), were the chief influences in
his youth.
Charles inherited a vast empire.
The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Artois, and Franche-Comté (or
Free County of Burgundy) came to him on the death (1506) of his father.
Aragón, Navarre, Granada, Naples,
Sicily, Sardinia, Spanish America, and joint kingship with his mother (who was insane) over Castile devolved
upon him at the death (1516) of Ferdinand II.
