Charles V Abdicates
Talk about bowing out when you are on top. When the fame and glory no longer seemed worth it to Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor and one of the most powerful rulers in all of the 16th century, he made the extraordinary decision to give up his crown, divide his empire, and retire to a quiet monastery in Spain to live in peace.
