Charles V (1500–58), Emperor. When he was elected in 1519 he held the Netherlands, Spain and the Spanish Empire, Naples, and the county of Burgundy. The most urgent problem confronting him was the growth of Lutheranism. The Diet of Worms (1521) banned M. Luther, but Charles's other difficulties prevented him from taking consistent action. At the Diet of Augsburg (1555) the Protestant princes forced upon his brother Ferdinand the principle of ‘cuius regio, eius religio’. Charles abdicated in 1555–6.
