Carlos V

Charles V of Germany, I of Castile and Aragon, and IV of Navarre was one of the most powerful sovereigns in history. A tenacious statesman and great strategist, he fought hard to achieve the dream of a united Europe. As a good creator of the Plus Ultra national motto, he turned his domains on both sides of the Atlantic into the first world empire. Jaime Ignacio del Burgo reveals to us with great clairvoyance one of the most unknown facets of the monarch; his role as peacemaker of Navarre, in the historical process that led to the end of the civil confrontation in which this land was submerged, and to its definitive incorporation into the Crown of Castile; both great episodes forgotten by historiography that marked the future of Spain.
