Why is he "Karl/Charles I" , shouldn’t he be Karl 11 or something. From what i remember there were several Habsburg Emperors named Karl/Charles through centuries.
Super powerful Emperor Karl/Charles V (who ruled everything from Spain and its colonies, Holy Roman Empire, Netherlands and many other lands) already had number 5 by his name and that was in 16th century (early 1500s), so why this guy 400 years later had 1 by his name ?
