Years: 1252 - 1395
Charles makes Prague into an imperial city.
Extensive building projects undertaken by the king include the founding of the New Town southeast of the old city.
The royal castle, Hradcany, is rebuilt.
Of particular significance is the founding of Charles University in Prague in 1348.
Charles's intention is to make Prague into an international center of learning, and the university is divided into Czech, Polish, Saxon, and Bavarian "nations," each with one controlling vote.
Charles University, however, will become the nucleus of intense Czech particularism.
Charles dies in 1378, and the Bohemian crown goes to his son, Wenceslas IV.
