LEE TAMAHORI'S EMPEROR
is an action epic about a young girl who seeks revenge on the holy Roman Emperor Charles V for the death of her father by infiltrating his royal court. It happens in a world of wealth, debauchery, violent
retaliations, sex, manipulation and treason in which Charles V is trying
to hold together a fragmented empire... it's the 16th century

DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
Charles V was a Duke of Burgundy and Holy Roman Emperor who ruled a massive Empire in which the sun never set including the
Spanish Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Habsburg Netherlands and extensive territories in western, central, and southern Europe, and the
Spanish colonies in the Americas and Asia where he sanctioned the conquest by Castillian conquistadors of the Aztec and Inca empires. 
Although the four decades of his rule were marked by many wars (mostly against France, German princes and the Ottoman Sultan) in 
the end he abdicated in order to live and then die in a monastery instead on a battle field.
