Doubel Eagle Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Charles V consists of the imperial double-headed eagle representing the Holy Roman Empire, bearing an escutcheon with the coats of arms of Castile and Leon quartered and Granada in point (a pomegranate as in the current Spanish Arms) surrounded by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and crowned by the Imperial crown. During the reign of Charles I, the city of Toledo Spain adopted the emperor's arms, and those are the present arms for the city, adding the figures of the kings, remembering ancient city symbols. Toledo's arms are allegedly a grant of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (King Charles I of Spain).
