A short, succinct look at an important ruler's reign
First off, this is not a biography of Charles V. It is as the title says and what Maltby says in his Introduction, it is a history of the reign of Charles V. This glances quite a bit on Charles V, so you do see quite a bit of his life. Even more so you see his realms and the wars and laws that were enacted.

Good short reference book
It is a good short reference book for those who are interested in the history of the House of Habsburg and it's Spanish branch. Book provides ample bibliography for those who want to research subject in depth.

This review is from: The Reign of Charles V (European History in Perspective) (Paperback)
First off, this is not a biography of Charles V. It is as the title says and what Maltby says in his Introduction, it is a history of the reign of Charles V. This glances quite a bit on Charles V, so you do see quite a bit of his life. Even more so you see his realms and the wars and laws that were enacted.
For the most part this is a short and succinct analysis of this important ruler's reign. It is a bit dry and sometimes reads more like a recital of facts, but it does move well from chapter to chapter. I would recommend this book only to someone who has read a biography or is familiar with Charles V and would like a more close analysis of his reign. 3.75 stars.
