3.1 Charles V and the Netherlands

The Habsburgian dynasty

• The House of Habsburg  (House of Austria) is one of the
  most important families.
  
  
• It ruled over the Holy Roman Empire and Spain
• Charles V becomes the leader of this dynasty in 1506
  
  
• Thanks to his Spanish crown he also becomes the
  leader of pieces of land in the New World. 

Charles V

Colour in all the pieces of land Charles V was in control of.

In your legend tell me what this land was called.

Margaret of Austria

• Because Charles V can't govern his huge
  empire alone, he asks his aunt Margaret
  of Austria to become his viceroy.

Centralisation

• Charles V wanted to centralise the regions.
• For this purpose he established three councils in 1531

1. The Secret Council --> domestic legislation.
2. The Council of State --> foreign affairs and war issues.
3. The Council of Finance --> finances
