Two centuries later, another renowned emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, attempted a similar feat, negotiating with four different popes for the coronation of his descendant, but ultimately failed. A lesser-known parallel can be found in the life of Emperor Charles IV of the Luxembourg dynasty in the fourteenth century. After the Papal Curia returned to Rome from Avignon in early 1377, Charles made concerted efforts in Italy, France, and Germany to secure the imperial coronation of his son, Wenceslas. However, this bold ambition coincided with an unprecedented crisis in relations between the \"French\" cardinals and the newly elected Italian pope, Urban VI. Recognizing that the final chapter of Charles IV's biography is deeply intertwined with the early history of the Great Western Schism offers a fresh perspective on a subject that has long captivated international scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dusan Coufal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8024662086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788024662084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 6.41w x 0.91d","brand":"Dusan Coufal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852750500095,"sku":"9788024662084","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emperor-charles-iv-and-the-dusan-coufal-9788024662084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
