Holy Roman Emperor from 1355 and king of Bohemia from 1346. Son of John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, he was elected king of Germany in 1346 and ruled all Germany from 1347. He was the founder of the first German university in Prague in 1348.

King of Spain from 1788, when he succeeded his father, Charles III; he left the government in the hands of his wife and her lover, the minister Manuel de Godoy (1767–1851).
