Karl IV (1346-1378) - A Portrait of a Medieval Ruler - Interview with Vaclav Jurek

from History of the Germans

The Emperor and King Charles IV (1316-1378) represents today an untouchable monument in Czech history, carved into the marble of admiration and clichés. Although a new and thorough study of his reign is yet to be written, it is nevertheless useful to introduce Charles IV from a new perspective. In many regards, historical research has already brought new findings, and thus we are now able to shed new light on both his life and his reign.The book will be published this autumn but is already available for pre-orderhere: Charles IV: Portrait of a Medieval Ruler, Žurek, Stone (uchicago.edu)here: Charles IV: Portrait of a Medieval Ruler book by vaclav zurek, (Paperback) | Indigoand also on Amazon:Charles IV: Portrait of a Medieval Ruler: Amazon.co.uk: Žurek, Václav, Stone, Ian Finlay: 9788024655239: Books
