Charles V
Charles V was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain during the 16th century, known for his vast empire that spanned Europe and the Americas. He played a crucial role in the European response to the discovery of the New World, leading to the importation of cochineal from Mesoamerica, which revolutionized the textile industry and art in Europe by providing a vibrant red dye previously unavailable to European artisans.
