Charles V Holy Roman Emperor - Early life
Charles was born in the Flemish city of Ghent and brought up in the Low Countries until 1517, where he was tutored by Adrian of Utrecht, later Pope Adrian VI. His three most prominent subsequent advisors were Lord Chièvres, Jean Sauvage, and Mercurino Gattinara.
In 1506, Charles inherited his father's Burgundian territories, most notably the Low Countries and Franche-Comté.
In 1516, after the death of his grandfather Ferdinand, Charles became the first king of a united Spain (though he rarely used the titles "King of Spain" or "King of the Spains"). He inherited his grandfather's realm, which included Aragon, Navarre, Naples, Sicily and Sardinia, and also became joint-king of Castile and guardian of his insane mother Joanna. With the Castilian rule he also gained Granada and the Spanish possessions in the New World (in the latter overseeing the conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires in the Americas, led by the Spanish conquistadors).
Upon arriving in Castile and dismissing the regent Cardinal Cisneros, he had to fight the Castilian War of the Communities against the cities and petty nobles who disliked his appointment of Flemings for Castilian offices. He eventually won and from then on Castilian Cortes were keen on conceding him the vast resources needed for the numerous wars he waged in Europe.
After the death of his other grandfather, Maximilian, in 1519, he inherited Habsburg lands in Austria and was elected Holy Roman Emperor on June 28, 1519.
He married the Infanta Isabella in 1526, sister of John III of Portugal, who had shortly before married Catherine, Charles's sister.
