Drawing on vital new evidence, a top historian dramatically
reinterprets the ruler of the world's first transatlantic empire
The life of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), ruler of Spain, Germany,
the Netherlands, and much of Italy and Central and South America,
has long intrigued biographers. But the elusive nature of the man
(despite an abundance of documentation), his relentless travel and
the control of his own image, together with the complexity of
governing the world's first transatlantic empire, complicate the
task. Geoffrey Parker, one of the world's leading historians of
early modern Europe, has examined the surviving written sources in
Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, as well as
visual and material evidence. He explores the crucial decisions
that created and preserved this vast empire, analyzes Charles's
achievements within the context of both personal and structural
factors, and scrutinizes the intimate details of the ruler's life
for clues to his character and inclinations. The result is a unique
biography that interrogates every dimension of Charles's reign and
views the world through the emperor's own eyes.
