Printed posthumously at the commission of Engelbert Bruning, as a propaganda tool for Charles V to distribute to the French nobility on his way through their county from Spain to Holland in 1540 to suppress the uprising against him in his home town of Ghent in 1540. Recording the triumphal and majestic procession of Charles V (1500-1558), Clement VII (Giulio de Medici known as the "lord of all cunning" by his fellow Florentines), and all the Princes and Dukes of the Spanish empire, after Charles's coronation as Holy Roman Emperor at Bologna on 22 February 1530, St. Matthew's day. Charles V was the last Emperor to receive a papal coronation, and since he and Clement VII had often been on opposing sides of the complicated political divides of early 16th-century Europe, it was an event of tremendous historical significance, and a moment of supreme triumph for Charles V. The coronation procession depicted here was culmination of the festivities and celebrations that had begun upon Charles' triumphant entry into Bologna on the 6th December 1529. "Two crowns were placed upon Charles' head that day in San Petronio - the iron crown of the Kingdom of Italy, brought from Monza and hastily enlarged because it was too tight, and the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. Universal peace was eagerly and hypocritically declared; then it was time for the banquet. In the middle of the piazza 'a whole ox was there for the taking, complete with head and very long horns, stuffed with a wether, itself stuffed with chickens, capons, partridges, pheasants, pigeons, hares, thrushes and pigs, also whole; and because no one could turn it, they had devised certain winches, turned by various lansquenets who were standing around'" (Guadalupi). As early as 1524, the year after Clement became Pope, Francis I of France's conquest of Milan prompted him to change his allegiance from Imperial Spain and to ally himself with other Italian princes (including the Republic of Venice) and France in the January of 1525. This alliance acquired Parma and Piacenza for the Papal States, the rule of Medici over Florence and the free passage of the French troops to Naples. However at the Battle of Pavia in February of 1525 Francis was captured by his bitter enemy Charles V and held captive in Madrid. So Clement re-affirmed his loyalty to Charles, signing an alliance with the viceroy of Naples. Once Francis was freed after the Treaty of Madrid in 1526 Clement changed sides again, and entered into the League of Cognac together with France.
