The Charles V European Award [1] is awarded by the European Academy of Yuste Foundation.

[4]
The award bears the name of Charles V of Habsburg. Charles was crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, in the Aachen palatine chapel, [5] the same place where previously Charlemagne had been crowned. Charles, born in Ghent (Flanders, Belgium) and of Spanish and German ancestors, ruled the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and other nations of Central Europe in the 16th century. He was a polyglot (speaking French, Dutch, Latin, Spanish, Italian, and German) and a believer in the medieval idea of a united Christian Europe. He spent his last days suffering gout in the Monastery of Yuste, in the Spanish region of Extremadura, where he died in 1558. [6]
This award was established in 1995, [7] to highlight the European spirit of Spain, similarly to other European prizes such as the Charlemagne Prize, awarded by the city of Aachen since 1950, and was presented to King Juan Carlos I in 1982.
