Who Was King Charles IV - Kingdom Come Deliverance History
Charles IV (Prague, 14 May 1316 - Prague, 29 November 1378) was King of Bohemia from 1346 to 1378 and Emperor of Holy Roman Empire from 1355 to 1378.
14.5.1316 - 29.11.1378
Charles IV of Luxembourg, born Wenceslas, son of King John of Luxembourg, was the second member of the Luxembourg dynasty to become King of Bohemia (1346 - 1378) and the first to attain the title Holy Roman Emperor (1355 - 1378). He held many other titles besides: Margrave of Moravia, Count of Luxembourg, King of Italy, King of the Romans and King of Burgundy.
Renowned for his diplomatic skills and erudition, he actively endeavoured to consolidate his position and ensure the survival of his line in Europe, especially in Bohemia, Moravia and Germany. He was well-versed in several languages and at the French court he was tutored by none other than the future pope, Clement VI.
During his reign, Prague and the lands of the Bohemian Crown underwent a major transformation, becoming a powerful political, economic and cultural centre. For this reason, this period of his reign is known as the Golden Age. He initiated the construction of many superb edifices, which thus bear his name, including Charles University, Charles Bridge and Karlstein Castle. He was keen to emphasise the role of religious faith in society. He renewed the cults of St. Wenceslas, St. Sigismund and St. Vitus, consecrating various Church buildings to them, among others Prague Cathedral.
He married four times and had thirteen children, most of whom died in infancy. The most illustrious of his offspring were his sons Wenceslas and Sigismund, who both became rulers over the lands of the Bohemian Crown.

I’m currently visiting Prague rn, and quite frankly he’s utterly beloved here. There are puppets, carved faces, statues, and tons of other pieces of him everywhere.

Awesome, he was rue reformer, he turned Prague in rich and modern city in his time and what is greater than institution as Charles university, which carryes his legacy to this day, a great King who ruled most of the Europe but still focused on his country of origin.

Charles was actually also present at the battle of Crecy but was pulled away from the battle by bohemian nobility after the battle was evidently lost.

Video is great but I would appretiate you getting some czech people to help your pronouncination :D
2:39 Yeah... he wasn't well liked there and even less so his brother John Henry. They had usurped the county from Margaret, the countess of Tyrol (who was initially married to John Henry but then got a divorce). Basically, the local nobles rose up against them and kicked them out.
A good man

I loved the video but my ears exploded from you pronunciation of Czech names but it was rated the second hardest language soooo yeah. Btw in Czech we read everything basically the way you write it so in a word with c you read c not k just wanted to point that out. Don't take this as me making fun of you tho I appreciate you at least trying.

Was he crazy?
@petrpinc7695

Crazy? Probably not. Incautious? Yes. It was 1350 and in one of many tournaments he participated in he got hurt badly. Really badly. He fell of a horse on his back. The best doctors available saved his life, but not his spine. For a time he couldn't move and basically had to learn how to walk. As basically an athlete he had good starting point, but eversince the unfortunate tourney he walked slightly stooped and with his head forward. Plus he broke his jaw and had minor jaw prebite. The funny part? The Pope, Charles was at time on good terms with, did write him to not participate in this tourney. Charles did not listen, got hurt and afterwards was apparently feeling a bit guilty as a little boy, who was too much of a smartass to listen to his parent telling him to not climb a tree, from which he just fell off.
