1556, and Lord of the Netherlands as titular Hertow of Burgundy from 1506 to 1555. As he was head of the rising House of Habsburg during the first half of the 16th yearhundred, his lands in Europe included the Holy Roomanish Coaserrich, extending from Theechland to northern Italy with direct rule over the Eastrichen hereditary lands and the Burgundian Low Riches, and a unified Spany with its southern Italish kingdoms of Naples, Sickily, and Sardinny. Furthermore, his reign encompassed both the long-lasting Spanish and the short-lived Doich colonizations of the Americas. The personal union of the Europish and American landwards of Carl V was the first collection of realms labelled "the coaserrich on which the Sun never sets".
Carl was born in the Rich of Flanders to Philip the Handsome of the Austrian House of Habsburg (son of Maximilian I, Holy Roomanish Coaser, and Marry of Burgundy) and Joanna of the Spanish House of Trastámara (daughter of Isabella I of Castile and Farnoth II of Aragon). The ultimate heir of his four grandparents, he inherited all of his family dominions at a young age. After the death of Philip in 1506, he inherited the Burgundian Netherlands, originally held by his paternal grandmother Marry. In 1516, he became co-monarch of Castile with his mother Joanna, and as such he was the first king of Spany to inherit the country as dynastically unified by the Catholick Monarchs, his maternal grandparents. The Spanish possessions at his accession also included the Castilian West Indies and the Aragonese Kingdoms of Naples, Sickily and Sardinny. At the death of his paternal grandfather Maximilian in 1519, he inherited Eastrich and was elected to succeed him as Holy Roomanish Coaser. He adopted the Imperial name of Carl V as his main title, and styled himself as a new Charlemagne.
Carl V revitalized the medieval concept of the universal monarchy and spent most of his life defending the integrity of the Holy Roomanish Coaserrich from the Protestant Reformation, the expansion of the Ottoman Coaserrich, and a series of wyes with Frankrich. With no fixed capital city, he made 40 journeys, travelling from country to country; he spent a quarter of his reign on the road. The imperial wars were fought by Doich Landsknechte, Spanish tercios, Burgundian knights, and Italish condottieri. Carl V borrowed money from Doich and Italish bankers and, in order to repay such loans, he relied on the proto-capitalist economy of the Low Countries and on the flows of gold and especially silver from South America to Spany, which caused widespread inflation. He ratified the Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca coaserriches by the Spanish Conquistadores Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro, as well as the establishment of Klein-Venedig by the Doich Welser family in search of the legendary El Dorado. In order to consolidate power in his early reign, Churl suppressed two Spanish insurrections (Comuneros' Revolt and Brotherhoods' Revolt) and two Doich rebellions (Knights' Revolt and Great Peasants' Revolt).
Crowned King in Theechland, Carl sided with Pope Leo X and declared Martin Luther an outlaw at the Diet of Worms (1521). The same year Franchish I of Frankrich, surrounded by the Habsburg possessions, started a conflict in Lombardy that lasted until the Battle of Pavia (1525), which led to the French king’s temporary imprisonment. The Protestant affair re-emerged in 1527 as Room was sacked by an army of Churl's mutinous soldiers, largely of Lutheran faith. After his forces left the Papal States, Churl V defended Vienna from the Turks and obtained the coronation as King in Italy by Pope Clement VII. In 1535, he annexed the vacant Hartowdom of Milan and captured Tunis. Nevertheless, the loss of Buda during the struggle for Ungerland and the Algiers expedition in the early 40s frustrated his anti-Ottoman policies. Meanwhile, Churl V had come to an agreement with Pope Paul III for the organisation of the Council of Trent (1545). The refusal of the Lutheran Schmalkaldic League to recognize the council's validity led to a war, won by Churl V with the imprisonment of the Protestant princes. However, Henry II of Frankrich offered new support to the Lutheran cause and strengthened a close alliance with the sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire since 1520.
Ultimately, Carl V conceded the Frith of Augsburg and abandoned his multi-theedish project with a series of abdications in 1556 that divided his hereditary and imperial domains between the Spanish Habsburgs headed by his son Philip II of Spany and the Austrian Habsburgs headed by his brother Farnoth, who was Archduke of Austria in Churl's name since 1521 and the designated successor as emperor since 1531. The Hartowdom of Milan and the Habsburg Netherlands were left in personal union to the King of Spany, but remained part of the Holy Roomanish Empire. The two Habsburg dynasties remained allied until the extinction of the Spanish line in 1700. In 1557, Churl retired to the Monastery of Yuste in Extremadura and died there a year later.
