Charles IV
  • Popis
This is a book about an emperor and a small boy, a husband, a father, a general, a man of learning and a writer. For Charles IV (1316-1378), King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, was all of these. Charles had great talents and was born to high eastate, a lucky combination that enabled him to fulfil his courageous visions. His private life too makes a great story, full of dramatic turns of fate and excitement from beginning to end. How did he see the world, as a four-year-old imprisoned by his father in a royal castle? How did he feel a sixteen-year-old boy entrusted by his father with governing a land whose language he had forgotten? And how great was the joy of the mature monarch when at long last a son and heir to the empire was born to him? This account of Charles' life is framed, like a superb medieval jewel, with exquisite illustrations inspired by the paintings of his time.
