Charles succeeded, however, in creating for his family interests certain political alliances that occasionally seemed in conflict with each other. He coquetted for instance on the one hand with the Lutheran princes of Germany, and on the other his interview (1558) with the [[Cardinal de Granvelle]] (at Péronne) initiated friendly relations between the Guises and the royal house of Spain.
