Sammanfattning:Charles V and Charles VI in the Mirror(s) The political writings in the reigns of Charles V and Charles VI contain a fair number of portraits of these monarchs, who are often the initial addressees. This kind of work was particularly favorable to the expression of contemporary ideology and the illuminators created contrasting images of the kings. Charles V’s reign was a time of intense reflection on power and gave rise to the most iconographic creations, all aimed at exalting the wisdom and Christian character of the king. Under Charles VI, on the contrary, with the exception of the Dialogues de Salmon, in a leap of loyalty toward the monarch, there was a return to traditional expression, depicting not the king but royal dignity in general.
