"Keizer Karel 2000" is supported financially and logistically by the Government of Flanders, by the urban, municipal and provincial authorities and by trade and industry. The committee is under the Gracious Patronage of H.M. the King. The Tourist office for Flanders is ... involved in helping to promote the project worldwide.

Charles's continuous absence from Germany (1521-1529) gave the anti-Hapsburg princes the opportunity to consolidate their opposition to the Emperor. Although the princes were not in general concerned with theological subtleties, they used religious issues as a means of breaking with the Emperor. In 1526 Charles ordered Ferdinand to assert his authority in religious matters. But Ferdinand was constantly harassed by the Turks, and he left the settlement of disputes on religion to the discretion of the princes "until a general council" was convened.

History portrays Charles V as a good, wise king. He was an astute monarch (1338-1380) and showed a surer taste for and keener interest in the arts than any other medieval ruler. His support for art and culture enhanced France's influence throughout Western Europe. He substantially enriched the royal library. A confirmed esthete, he collected jewels and illuminated manuscripts, putting together a treasure that ... served as a cash reserve.

This Coronation Book probably entered English hands around the year 1425 when John, Duke of Bedford, regent of France after the Battle of Agincourt, took ownership of much of the library of King Charles VI. The manuscript includes an oath of allegiance to the king of England, which may indicate its use in the ceremonies of Bedford’s nephew, Henry VI, at his coronation in Paris on 17 December 1431. It is possible that this very manuscript was used in later English coronation and anointing ceremonies, although there is no definite evidence supporting this. At one point, possibly after the book entered the library of Robert Cotton in the early 17th century, the French manuscript was bound with an English Pontifical (a book for use by a bishop or archbishop) that contained a version of the English coronation ordo, indicating continued English interest and adaptation of the French original. The Coronation Book became national property through a bequest of Sir John Cotton in 1702 and entered the collections of the British Museum in 1753.

Charles V commissioned his chef Taillevent to write a cookery book. The English translation of it’s title is: "Hereafter follows the Viandier describing the preparation of all manner of foods, as cooked by Taillevent, the cook of our noble king, and ... the dressing and preparation of boiled meat, roasts, sea and freshwater fish, sauces, spices, and other suitable and necessary things as described hereafter."
