DS

A document signed by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. No location indicated, dated 1555. Written in a secretarial hand, untranslated but likely a decree or some form of announcement. Signed at the conclusion by Charles V. The document is written on laid paper with a gorgeous Habsburg watermark. 1p, measuring 19" x 25.25". With flattened folds. Toning and light foxing throughout. Uneven edges. Large, bold signature.

Charles V (1500-1558) was Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria from 1519 to 1556, King of Spain from 1516 to 1556, and Lord of the Netherlands as titular Duke of Burgundy from 1506 to 1555. He was heir to and then head of the rising House of Habsburg, and his dominions in Europe included the Holy Roman Empire, extending from Germany to northern Italy with rule over the Austrian hereditary lands and Burgundian Low Countries, and Spain with its possessions of the southern Italian kingdoms of Naples, Sicily and Sardinia. His rule extended over such a vast collection of realms it would come to be labelled "the empire on which the sun never sets."

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
