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. 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Royalty$2bisacsh 607 $aHoly Roman Empire$xKings and rulers$vBiography 607 $aHoly Roman Empire$xHistory$yCharles V, 1519-1556 607 $aEurope$zHoly Roman Empire$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 608 $aBiography.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2lcgft 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Royalty. 676 $a943.031092 700 $aParker$b Geoffrey$f1943-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0123139 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793431803321 996 $aEmperor$93683370 997 $aUNINA
