The Hapsburg Empire was divided because of inheritance issues. King Carlos left half of his territory to his eldest son Felipe. In 1555 he made Felipe ruler of the Netherlands. Carlos’s daughter Maria married Emperor Ferdinand I’s son Maximilian.

His son Philip got Franche-Comté, the Low Countries (today's Netherlands and Belgium) and the Spanish empire.

To his brother Ferdinand he transferred the rights to the Emperorship of today's Germany, plus the Austrian posessions of the Habsburg dynasty.
