Cette œuvre est une enluminure de Jean Fouquet, intitulée "Remise de l'épée de connétable à Bertrand du Guesclin", réalisée vers 1455-1460 et figurant dans les "Grandes Chroniques de France".

La scène illustre l'événement du 2 octobre 1370, au cours duquel le roi Charles V le Sage nomme le chef militaire breton Bertrand du Guesclin à la fonction suprême de Connétable de France. Le souverain remet l'épée de connétable, insigne majeur du commandement suprême des armées royales, à du Guesclin agenouillé devant lui.

The king evidently learned other political habits from his father [Charles V] including how to write passive aggressive letters to the Pope.

Secretaries were also used to translate letters both received and those being written, since not all the Habsburgs had a common language, even within their own family. Most members of the dynasty mastered at least two languages, learning the second one as adults, and especially the Austrian branch of the family also used Latin for practical purposes. Maximilian had in 1477 learned French to be able to converse with his bride, Mary of Burgundy, and the emperor also used French with his children, Philip and Margaret. Margaret learned Spanish as the bride of Prince Juan, whereas Charles V learned the language only after he entered Spain as its king in 1517. His equally French-speaking younger sister, Mary, learned German in Austria. Charles’s daughters, María and Juana, wrote mainly in Spanish, which their uncle Ferdinand could understand, but their aunt Mary of Hungary could not.

On the language skills of the Habsburgs in the 15th and 16th centuries: Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor; his daughter Marguerite of Austria; his grandchildren Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, Mary of Hungary, and Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor; and his great-grandchildren Maria of Austria and Juana of Austria.

📜 Letter from Katharine of Aragon to Emperor Charles V (Kimbolton Castle, 1534)

My Lord and most dear nephew,

I have no comfort in this world but in God and in Your Majesty.

You know well how unjustly I have been treated, deprived of my name and estate as Queen, and kept apart from my daughter, whom I cannot see nor write to without leave.

Yet I do not wish that, for my sake, blood should be shed or that the peace between Your Majesty and the King, my lord, should be disturbed.

I only beseech you to entreat His Holiness that justice may be done in my cause, so that it may not be said that in England the authority of the Church is despised and the innocent oppressed.

I forgive all who have wronged me, and I commend my soul and my daughter to God and to your protection.
