This book by Fernand Braudel, with a prologue by Felipe Ruiz Martín, examines the figures of Charles V and Philip II, spanning from the emperor's birth in 1500 to his son's death in 1598. The author traces the main lines of this historical period, correcting common myths and errors. The essays analyze the political ideas, the circumstances of the Monarchy, the life and personality of the kings, and the challenges they faced during their reigns, maintaining their relevance in the current historiographical debate.
Fernand Paul Achille Braudel was a French historian. His scholarship focused on three main projects: The Mediterranean, Civilization and Capitalism (1955–79), and the unfinished Identity of France (1970–85). He was a member of the Annales School of French historiography and social history in the 1950s and 1960s.
