Plus ultra (motto)
''Plus ultra'' (, , ; Latin meaning "further beyond"; in Spanish, ''más allá'') is the national motto of Spain. It is adopted from the personal motto of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (and King of Spain as Charles I) and is a Latin translation from ''Plus Oultre'', his original motto in Old French (Charles's native language).
==Charles V==
According to Earl Rosenthal, author of ''The Palace of Charles V in Granada (1985)'', the motto is closely associated with the Pillars of Hercules, which, according to Greek mythology, were built by Hercules near the Straits of Gibraltar to mark the edge of the then known world. According to mythology the pillars bore the warning ''Nec plus ultra'' (also ''Non plus ultra'', "nothing farther beyond"), serving as a warning to sailors and navigators to go no farther.
It is believed that the young Charles V adopted ''Plus Oultre'' as his motto at the suggestion of his doctor and personal advisor Luigi Marliano. The idea was to encourage him to ignore the ancient warning and encourage him to take risks, surpass himself and go "farther beyond".
It has also been interpreted as a phrase used to transcend nationality as Charles ruled over many different parts of Europe (particularly as Holy Roman Emperor) and colonies all over the world.
