Talk:Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor

I saw no reason for a link to "Adrian of Utrecht" when there is already a link to "Pope Adrian VI," especially when there is no "Adrian of Utrecht" entry and they are the same person. Therefore, I took out the link.

Many call him "Carlos I de Espaņa y V de Alemania" (Charles I of Spain and V of Germany), not just "Carlos V". It looks like he is better known by both of his titles... Sabbut 20:29, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- This doesn't seem to be empirically true: It appears that all other Wikipedias except the Spanish (and possibly the Chinese) one refer to him primarily as Charles V. The English Wikipedia article should be named following the term most common in English, which, I think, is his Holy Roman Emperor number. Martg76 22:42, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
"I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men and German to my horse."
I have heard a very similar quote (with Latin substituted for Spanish) ascribed to Frederick II of Prussia. Could anyone provide documentary evidence for the statement(s)?

Infanta Isabella
Is there an article about Infanta Isabella? Is she listed on the Isabella-disambiguatation page? WouterVH 21:52, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Abdication
Why exactly did Charles give up all his power when he did? And why did he not try to pass it on as a single empire?
