Westernmost and easternmost locations that Charles V visited in his empire?
score:5
Accepted answer
The Emperor Charles V lived out his entire life on the European continent, with a few short visits to the north African coast. He definitely never visited the colonies in the Americas. Here's what I was able to find:
Easternmost Location: Vienna, in 1532, to fight off the armies of the Ottoman Empire.
Westernmost Location: Seville, in 1526, for his marriage to Isabella of Portugal. A close runner up is the Monastery of Yuste, in western Spain, which he retired to in 1557 until his death in 1558. He may have visited Portugal or Galicia further west, but I was unable to find any record of it.
