Sample Book Insights:

#1 Catherine de Valois, the king of England’s wife, was married in a French church in Troyes in June 1420. The wedding was conducted in the traditional French fashion, with a large band of musicians playing a triumphant tune as the elegant parish church filled with splendidly dressed lords and ladies.

#2 Henry’s accession to the throne reunited England under a undisputed leader. His reign was marked by success in almost every area of government and warfare. He made significant gestures of reconciliation, offering forgiveness to rebels of his father’s reign.

#3 The Treaty of Troyes and the royal marriage that followed were made possible by the woeful condition of the French crown. Charles VI had been suffering from a combination of paranoia, delusion, schizophrenia, and severe depression, which came in bouts lasting for months at a time.

#4 The madness of King Charles VI had caused a power vacuum in France. In 1407, two powerful and ruthless groups of French noblemen and their supporters began fighting over land, personal differences, and their relative influence over the regency council.
