		The city’s real golden age commenced when Charles IV of Bohemia was elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1346.
		The 20th century brought massive trauma for Czechoslovakia and Prague as the country was occupied by the Germans during World War II and then spent the best part of five decades subjugated under Soviet communist rule, with attempts to win greater democracy in the 1968’s ‘Prague Spring’ brutally crushed under the weight of Russian tanks.

	655 years ago: Charles IV crowned king of Bohemia - 02-09-2002 - Radio Prague
		The son of John of Luxembourg, Charles was named King of Bohemia in 1347; he was the first Czech monarch to become the King of the Romans, and, in 1355, Holy Roman Emperor - effectively making him the secular head of all of Western Christendom.
		Now, Charles IV's resilience as a ruler is not surprising: for his day he was an intellectual tour-de-force: the monarch spoke five languages fluently at a time when most rulers were not able to read and write.
		The bridge survived, and it is through it and other architectural sites in Prague and throughout the country that the memory of Charles IV remains most alive today, a daily reminder and tribute to a great ruler crowned so many centuries ago.
