Editing Charles (section)

===Later Middle Ages and Early Modern history===
The name survives into the High Middle Ages ([[Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine]]; [[Charles, Count of Valois]]; [[Charles I, Count of Flanders]] (Charles the Good, beatified in 1882); [[Charles I of Naples]]; [[Charles I of Hungary]]). [[Charles VII of Sweden|Karl Sverkersson]] was a king of Sweden in the 12th century, counted as "Charles VII" due to a genealogical fiction of the 17th century by [[Charles IX of Sweden|Charles "IX"]], but actually the first king of Sweden with this name.

Charles resurfaces as a royal name in Germany with [[Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor]] (1316–1378, counted as "the fourth" after Charlemagne, Charles the Bald and Charles the Fat) and in France with [[Charles IV of France]] (1294–1328, "the fourth" after Charlemagne, Charles the Bald and Charles the Simple), and becomes comparatively widespread in the [[Late Middle Ages]] ([[Charles I, Duke of Savoy]], [[Charles III, Duke of Savoy]]).

[[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor]] (1500–1558) gives rise to a tradition of Charlses in Habsburg Spain ([[Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor]], [[Charles II of Spain]], [[Charles III of Spain]], [[Charles IV of Spain]]).

The numbering scheme for the [[kings of Sweden]] was continued in modern times with [[Charles X Gustav of Sweden|Charles X Gustav]], [[Charles XI of Sweden|Charles XI]],  [[Charles XII of Sweden|Charles XII]], [[Charles XIII of Sweden|Charles XIII]], [[Charles XIV John]] and [[Charles XV of Sweden|Charles XV]].

[[Charles I of England]] (1600–1649) is followed by [[Charles II of England]] (1630–1685). The [[Province of Carolina]] is named during the rule of Charles II, after Charles I.

[[Charles III Philip, Elector Palatine]] (1661–1742).
