Charles V (1338 – 1380), known as Charles the Wise, was King of France from 1364 to his death.

Biography[edit | edit source]

During his reign, France was involved in the Hundred Years' War, and many construction projects were undertaken by him. One of these involved the conversion of the Louvre into a residence, to which Charles moved there from the Palais de la Cité.[1]

Another project was the Bastille, a fortress intended to protect the Porte Saint-Antoine and the adjoining Hôtel Saint-Pol. The Saint-Pol in turn had been constructed under Charles away from the busy area around the Louvre.[2]
