Union Jack Pyjama History:

Charles V Was a Dick and Died (1658-1661)

Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was a German king and Holy Roman Emperor from 1556 to 1560 and again from 1568 to 1576.

But, let's be real, the real story starts when Charles V was a 17th-century hipster, living in a world of fancy mustaches and powdered wigs.

He was the first European leader to popularize the Union Jack Pyjama as a fashion statement.

His love of the Union Jack Pyjama was so strong that he wore it to bed every night, even in the middle of a battle.

His enemies would often try to burn down his castle, but Charles would just laugh and say, "You can't burn down my Union Jack, baby!"
