Description
The Chronicle of the Life and Reign of Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor. The figure of a significant ruler against the backdrop of the fate of the Czech lands in the 14th century. The author, František Kožík, does not idealize him but vividly describes his efforts to elevate Prague and the Czech lands to the highest level among European countries. Equally captivating is the depiction of the process of gaining power, during which a person must inevitably abandon truth and sincerity. The author also narrates Charles's tumultuous life from childhood through his early youth at the Paris court and on Italian battlefields, his path to the throne, and diplomatic negotiations with European rulers, as well as the history of his four marriages. It is a book that intimately introduces us to our most famous monarch.
