[edit] comments

I'm not at all sure what the author meant by:

As one of only few Roman Emperors, he choosed Prague, the capital of Bohemia, as his site.

As his 'capital'? And what on earth was 'as one of only few Roman Emperors?'

Just a bad translation (word ordering is obviously czech). Only few Roman Emperors made Prague their capital and Charlet IV was first of them.

[edit] Numerals - here we go again....

I thought that his numerals are firmly established as Charles IV ( or Karel IV in Czech). Why ow why we have there ..."Charles I (May 14, 1316 – 29 November 1378), of the House of Luxembourg, King of the Romans (as Charles (Karl) IV, 1368 – 1378), Holy Roman Emperor (Charles IV, 1355 – 1378), King of Bohemia (Charles (Karel) I 1346 – 1378)..., moreover just after a proper heading ??? Could someone more oriented in history rectify this ? Thanks beforehead. Radoneme

He was the first king of Bohemia named Charles: king Charles I. Also, he was first member of House of Luxembourg with this name. But he was fourth Roman Emperor: emperor Charles IV. This principle applies to every monarch which rules several countries. For example, see Scottland#Head_of_state.

[edit] why have his genelogy tree twice?

We have his ancestors in two different formats... why?

[edit] Siege of Siena

The article states that "His [Charles IV] second journey to Italy took place in 1368, when he had a meeting with Pope Urban VI at Viterbo, was besieged in his palace at Siena..." Who besieged him and why? How was the siege ended? Top.Squark (talk) 12:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
