Hours of Charles V
Okay kiddo, let me tell you all about the hours of Charles V.
Do you know what hours are? They are little books that people used to carry around with them a long time ago to help them remember when to pray.
And do you know who Charles V was? He was a very important king who lived a long time ago in a place called Europe.
Now, the hours of Charles V were special because they were made just for him! They had all kinds of important prayers and pictures in them to help Charles remember to be a good king and to pray to God.
So, people who knew how to make beautiful books called illuminators worked very hard on the hours of Charles V. They used special paint called pigments and gold or silver to make the pictures shine, and they even made tiny letters so small that you might need a magnifying glass to read them!
The hours of Charles V were very precious, so they were probably locked away in a special room called a library, where only important people could see them.
But now, you can see pictures of the hours of Charles V in museums or on the internet, and you can imagine what it was like to carry a little book with you to help you remember to be good and pray to God.
