Germany / Spain: Charles V (1500-1558),30th Holy Roman emperor, with a dog. Oil on canvas painting by Jakob Seisenegger (1505-1567),1532, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

Charles V (24 February 1500 21 September 1558) was ruler of both the Holy Roman Empire from 1519 and the Spanish Empire (as Charles I of Spain) from 1516, as well as of the lands of the former Duchy of Burgundy from 1506. He stepped down from these and other positions by a series of abdications between 1554 and 1556.<br/><br/>. Through inheritance, Charles brought together under his rule extensive territories in western, central, and southern Europe, and the Spanish viceroyalties in the Americas and Asia. As a result, his domains spanned nearly 4 million square kilometres (1.5 million square miles), and were the first to be described as 'the empire on which the sun never sets'.
