467 years ago today, on September 21, 1558 (August 10, 1558, lunar calendar), Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, died in the Convent of Euste. On September 21, 1558, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, died in the Abbey of Euste. Charles V (Holy Roman Empire), title of King of Spain: Carlos I; title of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire: Charles V; Before his accession to the throne, Charles, commonly known as Austria (February 24, 1500-September 21, 1558), was King of Spain (reigned 1516 - 1556), Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (reigned 1519 - 1556), King of Sicily (called Carlo I, 1516 - 1556), King of Naples (called Carlo IV, 1516 - 1556), and the supreme monarch of the Low Countries. In the eyes of Europeans, he was the protagonist of the "era of Habsburg hegemony." Since he was elected emperor of the "Germanic Holy Roman Empire" at the age of 15, he showed that he was an ambitious man. In order to seize control of the Italian peninsula, he launched four consecutive wars against Italy from 1521 to 1544. He then fought with Suleiman the Great of Eastern Turkey in an attempt to seize North Africa; in addition, he continued to conquer the American continent. His troops were full of bloody plunder and massacres. Four wars against Italy suffered devastating disasters, and Italy was in a dark period for 150 years. The conquest of Central and South America was even more inhumane, where he forcibly imposed barbaric and brutal feudal rule. By the mid-16th century, 15 million Native Americans in Central and South America had been killed. In addition, he cooperated with the Pope to maintain Catholic feudal rule by using the cross and the stake as magic weapons to maintain imperial rule and carry out the most cruel persecution of the people in the country. In 1524, a peasant uprising broke out in Germany, killing 100,000 farmers. He set up Inquisition everywhere, destroyed the Reformation movement, killed infidels, and the stake in heresy courts in the empire was always burning. Thousands of people were burned to death. After the new war broke out in 1552, Charles V suffered a series of defeats and signed the Augsburg Religious Peace of 1555 with the princes. In 1555, after a last-ditch attempt to defeat Protestant forces failed, Charles V began to withdraw from political life. He passed his personal empire-Spain and the Low Countries-to his son Philip II; and passed the Holy Roman Empire to his brother Ferdinand I (relinquishing the throne of the Netherlands to Philip on October 25, 1555; He relinquished the Spanish throne to Philip on January 16, 1556; he relinquished the throne to Ferdinand on September 12, 1556). Charles V spent his later years in the Euste Monastery in Extremadura, Spain. Charles V died on September 21, 1558, suffering from gout for the last 20 years of his life. Judging by what he did, he was a tyrant
