Charles IV (1316 to 1378), born Wenceslaus and also known as Charles of Luxembourg, was Holy Roman Emperor from 1355 until his death. He was elected King of the Romans in 1346, became King of Bohemia the same year, and was crowned King of Italy and emperor in 1355 and King of Burgundy in 1365. In the history of law he is associated with the Golden Bull of 1356, which marked a structural change in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire. He was the eldest son and heir of John of Bohemia and drew on both the House of Luxembourg and the Bohemian Premyslid line, and he remains a popular historical figure in the Czech lands.
