Talk:Charles V of France

message: "He established the first permanent army paid with regular wages" Is it not Charles VII who established this? I'll return to this later and change it once confirmed  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnooet (talk • contribs) 02:16, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

message: This term is a bit misleading, unclear and it doesn't link anywhere. I suggest changing to Routiers.
:Sure -- do you have a citation?  "Tard-Venus" is the term used most frequently by Barbara Tuchman, who based A Distant Mirror on Froissart's work.  The term is contemporary and does specifically describe the mercenaries in France at the time.  But if something better exists, by all means use it.--Idols of Mud 16:56, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have read the Tuchman book and a few citable others. Not sure where I got Routieres from. The are also called "The Free Companies". The period of France of Charles V, called the Tard-Venus situation ,the curse of the free companies. CJ DUB 03:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

text: OK.  That does make it clearer.  Maybe we could keep Tard-Venus as a nickname?  I wrote a lot of the text here, so I'm probably partial.  :) --Idols of Mud 13:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I'd rather do a rewrite. I don't think anybody would recognized Tard-Venus unless they read the book. The more recognized word is routiers. Keep it for fun, since it was coined during the reign of Charles V. More importantly, what is said about these guys on the Hundred Years War page? Can we have a routiers page/stub made up?
Picture
The image currently on this page is of Charles VI's coronation from the Grandes Chroniques de France. Charles VI was crowned as a teenager, but Charles V was well into his twenties by his sacre. I have tried to change the image but it doesn't seem to have worked.   Somebody reinstated the incorrect image after I deleted it.
May I suggest we replace the current image with the Bondol frontispiece? It is one of many beautiful likenesses of Charles V, and is freely available on the web.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.139.100 (talk) 20:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The article claims that "to attempt to rid the land of the Tard-Venus, Charles first hired them for an attempted crusade into Hungary..."
On what grounds did he plan a crusade into Christian Hungary? Was there a conflict between Hungary and the pope at the time? Top.Squark (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 18:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Once again, as with Hundred Years' War Main article (See Talk Page for proof of violations) - we have another article with absolutely NO CITATIONS.  
I hope that, as in the Hundred Years War Main article - copyrighted sources are not being used and left for someone else to clean up.  Cite or lose I say. Mugginsx (talk) 15:08, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

message: What's the deal with the supposed abscess on his arm? It says he had on abscess on his arm, and his doctors said he would die within 15 days if it dried up. It later says that the abscess dried up, he made preparations to die, and then died. It doesn't seem to make sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.117.215.3 (talk) 20:57, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I was looking through Wikimedia and found charters of Philip VI of France, Charles V of France, and Charles VI of France. They all have the kings seals but they also have what looks like signatures beside the seals. Are those the signatures of the kings? ✠ Robertus Pius ✠ (Talk • Contribs) 19:29, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
