IMPACT ON SPAIN
• Ferdinand died on January 23rd 1516 and the crowns of the Spanish Kingdoms
devolved to his grandson, Charles I (1516-1556), the ruler of the Netherlands and
heir to the Habsburg dominios in Austria and southern Germany. This new union
had not been planned in Spain, and at first it was deeply resented. Francisco
Cardinal Jiménez, the regent until Charle’s arrival in Spain, had to battle the old
antagonisms between nobles and towns that were flaring up again when the
magnates took the opportunity of the regency to try to regain their old power
• The 16th century Was marked in Spain by the reign of the monarchs of the
Habsburg dinasty. Represented by Charles I and Philip II.
• Carlos I (1516-1556) son of Felipe of Habsburg and Juana I of Trastamara
(daughter of reyes católicos), was proclaimed king of Spain in 1516 and 3 years
later electoral Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire
