I spotted a mistake of sorts. Where I said that Charles of Habsburg was the first of his house to use the name, I meant, of course, the first of the house of Habsburg-Lorraine and in particuar of the Empire of Austria. His ancestor Charles V of the Empire and I of Spain not only wore the name, but came closest than anyone except possibly Napoleon to re-establishing the Roman Empire in Europe.
