  • The Empire of Charles V, also known by the umbrella term "Habsburg Empire" and labelled "the empire on which the sun never sets", included the Holy Roman Empire, the Spanish empire, the Burgundian Low Countries, the Austrian lands, and all the territories and dominions ruled in personal union by Charles V of Habsburg from 1519 to 1556. The lands of the empire had in common only the monarch, Charles V, while their boundaries, institutions, and laws remained distinct.

The imperial name prevailed due to the politico-religious primacy held by the Holy Roman Empire among European monarchies since the Middle Ages, which Charles V intended to preserve as part of his (ultimately failed) project to unite Christendom under his leadership.
