Idioma/Language: Español. El 24 de abril de 1547 se libró la batalla de Mühlberg, en la que Carlos V dio un golpe de autoridad al derrotar a los príncipes alemanes que se habían unido en la Liga de Smalkalda para oponerse al gobierno imperial en Alemania. Esta victoria, sin embargo, no abrió paso a un periodo de tranquilidad sino que le siguió el secuestro del land-grave de Hesse y Juan Federico de Sajonia. Carlos V decidió que Juan Federico de Sajonia fuera custodiado por el soldado y poeta Hernando de Acuña y viajara con él mientras durara su secuestro, pero el landgrave de Hesse quedó en manos de varios carceleros hasta su liberación cinco años más tarde. El secuestro de los gobernantes alemanes condujo al enfrentamiento con Mauricio de Sajonia y a la famosa fuga de Innsbruck. Este libro reconstruye el secuestro del landgrave de Hesse y la fuga del emperador. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
