Charles IV (The Unicorn in Winter)

Charles IV was King of Scotland, and King of Sardinia as '''Charles Emmanuel IV. '''Upon the death of King Henry IX, the last Stuart monarch of Scotland, Charles, then King of Sardinia, succeeded to the throne. He spoke only broken English, but had visited Henry IX in Scotland before. He disliked the cold, haggard Scottish landscape and preferred his Italian homeland. He also claimed the thrones of England and Ireland, but was unable to successfully succeed to them, as the Protestants and Hanoverians were in power there.
