The Retired Emperor: the Final Years of Charles V
About This Novel
He was the protagonist of the era of Habsburg hegemony and the founder of the Spanish Empire on which the sun never set. After many years of dominating European politics, he suddenly stepped down from the throne and became a devout hermit. Is he really devoted to religion, or is he retreating in order to advance? There is another hidden secret. Charles V was Spain's greatest monarch and the last Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned by a pope. His life can be called a legend: during his reign, he launched many foreign wars and dominated most of Europe; he opposed religious reforms within his country and established the Inquisition. After expanding his territory and fighting for many years, he chose to abdicate and spend his later years in a monastery in Spain... The famous French historian Migne is good at researching history through the research and arrangement of historical materials, and is known as the "Rank" of France. He will lead readers to explore the truth behind the emperor's choice to abdicate.
