Grâce aux hasards dynastiques, Charles Quint (1500-1558) régna sur les Pays-Bas, une bonne partie de l'Italie, l'Espagne, l'Allemagne et une demi-douzaine de royaumes, principautés et duchés. Jamais souverain ne disposa en Europe d'une telle puissance territoriale. Affichant son ambition de créer un empire universel et pacifié, il lutte contre les coups de boutoir du monde ottoman, fait face aux guerres que lui livrent les Français et tente de s'opposer à la rupture religieuse de Martin Luther. Miné et désabusé par ses échecs, il finit par abdiquer. Cette biographie originale contribue à révéler la réelle singularité du règne de Charles Quint. Si Michèle Escamilla nous permet d'entrevoir l'homme, Pierre Chaunu fournit les clefs indispensables à la compréhension du temps et de cet exceptionnel destin.

"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" [Publisher]
