The book I'm sharing with friends today is The Biography of Charles V by Geoffrey Parker
The biography of Charles V is actually more like a chronicle of modern European history. The story of Charles V is complex, and there are dazzling character relationships in it, which is a prominent feature of European history in the 16th century- the world entered an era of change, and the European countries strengthened their political marriages.
But the historical value of studying Charles lies in this, and Gein's life almost connected the important joints of the whole of Europe at that time.
He financed Magellan, conquered the Aztec and Inca Empires, and authorized the transport of slaves directly from Africa to the Americas.
He experienced the Reformation, which had a great influence on Europe, and became the most die-hard representative of the conservatives, Martin Luther's main opponent.
He walked through the european continent in the melee, was a sworn enemy of France for a lifetime, fought the Holy War of the Ottoman Empire against Europe in the name of the Crusaders, fought against the power of the Pope in chaotic Italy, and quelled the undulating rebellion in Spain...
In short, in Charlie's words, such a life "ended up making me tired and sick." Of course, in today's view, this is quite Versailles.
