Probably you would be referring to Spain's Emperor Charles I; who was Charles V in Germany. It is said that his dominions were so great that the sun never set on his empire. He ruled over most of the Americas (from California to Florida, and from Nevada to Argentina, Northern Africa, most of Europe (Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Italy),and the the Philippines (Named after his father, Philip II)

traditionally, and thinking with a ecu state of ideas, it rather is not hardship-free to triumph over Louis XIV "the solar king" of France interior the latter 0.5 of the seventeenth century to 1715. motives: He replaced into the fundamental absolute monarch. He ruled the richest, maximum populated, maximum useful (militarily) united states in Europe at a time whilst Europeans have been quickly to eclipse the international point by using their projection of ability interior the form of floating batteries of cannons on wood systems called ships of the line. The Ottoman empire could decline after the 1683 siege of Vienna. The Mongols have been long previous from China and the Moguls in India have been waning. The French style and language replaced into being imitated in the process Europe to distant Russia. Louis won't have been a "super" guy or woman, yet he lived an extremely long term and at in simple terms the superb suited time and place in history that the king of France replaced into preeminent.

Depends on your definition of Great and, I suppose king. Alexander the Great achieved great deal in terms of territorial conquest ..so did Genghis Khan but at the cost of great personal suffering. Napoleon Boneparte probably did more to shape 19th century Europe and develop his country than any "modern" day monarch. He came from next to nothing. Made himself and his family the rulers of half of the civilised world, brought order and for a time a degree of prosperity to the country though he blew it in the end. If greatness is about achieving a great deal of positive good for the country without harming others then you have to look to the girls. Catherine the Great of Russia or Elizabeth 1st of England.
oh...and a word for the underdog....Louis XVI of France. Inherited a mess and did his best to do the right thing. Lost his crown and life because he refused to let the troops fire on the people. Now that is a great man if not a great king, imho.
