Charles V of France

(New World Encyclopedia). From 1337-1453, England and France both struggled in battle over the succession to the French Throne (Wheeler). This war has five phases it can be divided into (Naval Academy). Many decades consisted of England dominating France and then it went back and forth. The nation that was winning would always change throughout the series of wars (Wheeler). The result of the Hundred Years’ War remained inconclusive since France and England leaders were prepared for different phases

Henry V of England invaded northern France. The English were defeated by France and gained help from the Burgundians in France. In 1420 the Treaty of Troyes granted Henry V to the French throne, taking control from the demented King Charles VI. After Charles’ death Henry would inherit his throne. However, this plan didn’t work because Henry and Charles died within a couple of months of each other. This left Henry’s infant son to inherit both realms. French supporters of the soon to be Charles VII sensed

The Treaty of Troyes was signed in Troyes on the 21st of May, 1420. The treaty between Henry V and Charles VI discussed the agreement that Henry and his heirs would inherit the throne of France upon the death of Charles VI (of France). The treaty was passed through and approved by a judicial body. It should be noted that although it was the French parliament that approved the document, they did not carve up the kingdom (at the very least not on paper). The Treaty of Troyes is often considered

as Joan of Arc, was a saint and heroine of France. She was executed by fire after a sentencing by a tribunal of pro-English clergy. She was later cleared of the charges on July 7, 1456. She was thus later deemed as a saint of the Catholic Church on May 16, 1920. Joan of arc, who saw visions of God, led an army of France and with her untimely death, still affects the world today. Born around 1412, Joan of Arc was a peasant girl living in medieval France. Joan of Arc was the daughter of a tenant

king-to-be Charles VII at about 16 years of age. Joan of Arc was born around 1412 in Domrémy, northeastern France to a father named Jacques d’Arc and Isabelle Romée. Joan was a shepherdess and looked after the sheep, but she preferred household jobs and chores. During this time, the Hundred Years’ War was raging. In 1415, King Henry V of England invaded northern France. In 1420, the Treaty of Troyes was signed. This treaty was an agreement that King Henry V would inherit the throne of France because

the longest conflicts in the history of warfare, the Hundred Years’ War was a time that defined history for both England and France. The war lasted from 1337 until 1453 passing over one hundred years and reached a total of one hundred and sixteen years. It began in May 1337 when King Philip VI of France tried to confiscate English territories located in Southwestern France and it then ended in July 1453 when the French finally expelled the English from the continent. In the one hundred and sixteen

of Arc was born. She was born in the Vosges region of eastern France in a village called Domremy (“Joan of Arc (1412-1431)” 1). Joan of Arc was born to Jacques d’ Arc and his wife, Isabelle, also known as Romée, poor tenant farmers. Joan learned domestic skills from her mother and did not venture far from her house (“Joan of Arc”1). Joan started to experience visions and came to believe that the saints had commanded her to free France. She felt the saints wanted her to have the dauphin, heir to the

years, the Kingdom of England and the House of Valois of France found themselves locked in war for the French throne. The hundred and sixteen year series of battles took place from 1337 to 1453, with historians often separating it into three phases: the Edwardian Era (1337- 1360), the Caroline War (1369- 1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415- 1453). Despite English success that lasted the majority of the conflict, and was revived by Henry V, the war resulted a French victory but high casualty losses

“Leader of Men” The Renaissance Era brought about the desire for expansion, in terms of both territory and ideals. Joan of Arc was a strong woman who stepped up and was able to restore the morale of France during this era, after the French throne was taken over by the English. She dressed as a man and took on roles that were dominantly held by men. Even when she knew she would be punished by death for her behaviors she refused to change her ways. Joan of Arc was unlike any other women of the time

The saint I chose to write a biography on was Saint Joan of Arc or Sainte Jeanne d’Arc in French. She was a French saint who saved France from England and Burgundians during the Hundred Years War (insert citation). I chose her because she demonstrated many characteristics and her story is very unique. She lost her life at a very young age and was only canonized as a saint, hundreds of years after her death. She believed in God so much that it helped her achieve her destiny. She was born as a peasant
