[QUOTE]Originally posted by A Habsburg Agenda: [QB] The paintings are not meant to be immediately identified as Charles V, and are there for the more discerning. You could even ask why he is wearing such a small earring, instead of the larger ones associated with moors. As to the turban the likely reason is he had some kind of scalp condition as a youth, which was covered up with a wig when he was portrayed as white, and a turban when he was portrayed as black. When you consider that his portrayals as an adult display him with curly hair, it stands to reason that what we see as his hair in youth portraits must be a wig, unless hot combs or some other such technology were used to straighten it, assuming aforesaid technologies were in use back then.

Is he wearing some kind of helmet with a fancy hat attached to it, or a turban with some kind of hat attached, or a hat with the bottom half formed as some kind of wrap? [/QB][/QUOTE]
