A domnit, de asemenea, ca rege al Spaniei, cu titulatura „Carol I”, din 1516 până în 1556. Ca moștenitor a patru dintre casele regale importante din Europa, a realizat o uniune personală a unor teritorii întinse și dispersate, incluzând Sfântul Imperiu Roman, Aragon, Castilia, Napoli, Sicilia, Țările de Jos și coloniile spaniole din Americi.

Johanna Maria van der Gheynst (also called Jeanne Marie van der Gheynst, Johanna Maria van der Gheenst; c. 1505 - 15 December 1541) was briefly the mistress of Emperor Charles V in 1521-1522 and the mother of one of his daughters, Margaret of Parma. Margaret served as Governor of the Spanish Netherlands from 1559 to 1567 and from 1580 to 1583.

Germaine de Foix, née en 1488 à Foix et morte le 15 octobre 1536 à Llíria (royaume de Valence), est reine d'Aragon, de Majorque, de Valence, de Sicile et de Naples et comtesse de Barcelone de 1505 à 1516.

Barbara Blomberg (1527 – 18 December 1597) was the mother of Don John of Austria.

Blomberg was born in Ratisbon (modern Germany), the eldest daughter of Wolfgang Plumberger or Blomberg, a burgher, and of his wife Sibilla Lohman. A singer, in 1546 she was for a short time the mistress of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who was in Regensburg for the meeting of the Imperial Diet. On 24 February 1547 Blomberg gave birth to John of Austria, who was almost immediately taken from her and sent to be raised in Spain.

Shortly afterwards Blomberg married Hieronymus Kegel, an imperial official. In 1551 she moved to Brussels with her husband where Kegel was responsible for the equipment of the imperial mercenary army. They had three children.

When Kegel died in 1569, Blomberg and her children were in reduced financial circumstances. At the request of the governor of the Netherlands, the Duke of Alba, she was granted a pension by King Philip II of Spain (her oldest son's agnate half-brother).

In November 1576 Blomberg met her son John of Austria for the only time since his birth. Subsequently, she went into a Dominican convent in Castile, 70 km south of Valladolid. After John of Austria died in 1578, Philip II allowed her to choose her own residence. She established herself first in the village of Colindres. In 1584 she purchased an estate in the village of Ambrosero in Cantabria.

Blomberg died at the age of seventy at her estate in Ambrosero. She is buried in the Church of San Sebastian at the monastery of Montehano (also known as Convento San Sebastián de Hano), between Ambrosero and Santoña.
