This is a roughened copy of this History, a sort of Ruth and Gehrig combination treatment of the life and carreer of the Emperor Charles The Fifth, for some time the most powerful man on the western end of the planet.  Volume I has been listed, Volume II is here described, but Volume III is missing from set.  These volumes could easily fill out similarly incomplete sets---at minimum expense.
