With Charles VI's royal authority weakened and his mind deranged, the Burgundian faction controlled Paris and actively pushed for negotiations with Henry V, paving the way for the Treaty of Troyes.
2. 1420Troyes · AubeOn 21 May 1420, Henry V and Charles VI formally signed the treaty at Troyes. Core clauses included: Charles VI recognizing Henry V as heir to the French throne and territories; Henry marrying Charles's daughter Catherine; Henry serving as regent of France during Charles's lifetime; and conquered Normandy and other lands permanently belonging to England.
3. 1420France · FranceThe Dauphin Charles (later Charles VII) refused to recognize the Treaty of Troyes and established an exile government at Bourges. Although the treaty legally nearly unified the English and French crowns, southern France and the Dauphin's supporters continued to resist. Henry and Catherine married in June 1420, and Henry entered Paris as regent, ushering the Hundred Years' War into a new phase.
