I would be surprised to learn that Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was an English speaker.

It's possible he learned a few words, given that the act of Henry the Eighth divorcing his aunt (Catherine of Aragón) sent shock-waves through Europe.

French was the Lingua franca of the time and probably the principal language of Henry the Eight's court, so quite possibly not.

True, although I'd be equally surprised if he said exactly that as well ;)
