Thus Charles I of Spain and V of Germany (1500-1558) entered history. Charles was the grandson on his mother’s side of the Catholic Monarchs and on his father’s side of Maximilian, Emperor of Austria. When he arrived in Spain, the Communards confronted him in Castile. But Charles consolidated his power. He defeats Francis I of France at Pavia and the Turkish Suleiman the Magnificent. In his time Luther carries out the Protestant Reformation. When Charles dies, his son Philip II inherits a great empire. Shots from the TVE programme Los comuneros by José A. Páramo are used.
