Action A of 170294 - The Death of Charles VI for France

Description

The Treaty of Troyes grew primarily from the seeds ofHenry V's desires to press his claim to the throne of France, and thereby vindicate the Lancastrian usurpation of 1399 in the hearts and minds of the people of England. Indeed, it was the warrior King Edward III, Henry's great grandfather, who had pressed his claim and had inititiated the war with France decades ago. Henry's marriage to Katherine Valois, a daughter of Charles VI, was designed, in part, to add an element of legitimacy to Henry's future should he become King of France. The agreement which formed the basis of the treaty was that the Dauphin, Charles, was to be disinherited by his father and Henry V named heir in his place. The treaty committed Henry to conquer those lands in France currently held by the Dauphin Charles and his supporters. An important clause, however, maintained that any and all lands in France which Henry V held or may hold could not be detached from the Crown of France. Furthermore, the institutions of France were to be upheld and respected. Notably, the Duchy of Guyenne was exempted from this clause. Nevertheless, there were other options, as Henry could have exchanged the extraordinary prisoners from Agincourt, the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Bourbon, among others, along with his claim to the Crown of France, for the Duchies of Normandy and Guyenne in full sovereignty. Orleans and Bourbon, the notable leaders of the Armagnac alliance along with the Dukes of Berry, Alencon, and the late Count of Armagnac Bernard VII, had offered Henry the Duchy of Guyenne in full sovereignty prior to Agincourt. Henry's father, Henry IV, had worked hard for an alliance with the Armagnacs during his reign. Henry V, however, had always preferred an alliance with Burgundy and had openly criticised his father's policy. Alternatively, though at a great cost to the stability of his regime and his own legacy, Henry could have renounced the claims to Normandy and the Crown of France altogether. Regardless, France is ripe for our demands...

Checked again every 1 days until trigger is met (cannot happen after December 30, 1422)

Description

Faced with the Anglo-Burgundian alliance and the pressure of Queen Isabel, Charles VI signed a veritable surrender of the Royal government in the Treaty of Troyes. Charles VI disinherited his own son, the so-called King of Bourges, and agreed to recognize Henry V as heir, giving him his daughter Catherine in marriage. For the Lancastrians, the Treaty of Troyes was a triumphant victory which seemed to offer them the Crown of St. Louis for good.

Checked again every 10 days until trigger is met (cannot happen after December 30, 1423)

Description

English policy in the heart of France was to leave the Duke of Burgundy, who had the most influence in the region, as the de facto ruler. The Regency of Henry VI would now confirm his status, officially legitimizing the status quo. The English still required the Duke's support in order to preserve the Treaty of Troyes, and confirming Burgundy's role in this new era was believed to be a necessary step to preserve the Anglo-Burgundian alliance.

Description

When Henry V returned to England with his new bride, it had seemed that his entire realm had erupted in joyous celebration for their conquering Hero King. However, once the festivities, ceremonies, and initial euphoria of peace and victory began to fade, a grim reality sunk into the hearts and minds of the commons. England had little to show for Henry's miraculous success on the fields of France, save a youthful French Princess and the possessions of Gascogne and Calais, both of which were now mortgaged to the Crown. Disillusioned, many began to view this as an outrage, and it rumours began to circulate widely that the King had abandonded his subjects, nobles and commons alike, at Troyes. Few had escaped many of the great sacrifices at home, and fewer still had reaped the spoils and plunder of victory in the fields of France. The lucrative attractions of the chevauchee and levying the patis were now gone, leaving many returning soldiers frustrated and unemployed. There were no more fortunes to be made in France by the landed gentry and lessor nobles, as any potentially lucrative positions of adminsitration fell to the greatest ascendant nobles and those who enjoyed the King's favour. Many Lords were now seeking payments for their terms of indenture, as were their own men, whilst the Commons now attempted to persuade the King to Resume Crown lands for fear of further taxation. Preferring to spend his time with his new bride and enjoying this relative time of peace, Henry V had neither the time nor the inclination to attend to these matters of redress. Nevertheless, upon his death, and with an infant King on the throne, the support of Parliament became crucial to legitimize the Regency. The ensuing Parliamentary sessions were strained and the Council was reluctant, if not outright opposed, to agree to Resumption. The sessions were twice prorogued for weeks due to rioting in London and Kent, which were brutally put down. It was the first real test for a fragile Regency...

England — Not random

Conditions

Checked again every 360 days until trigger is met (cannot happen after December 30, 1425)

Description

In the months following the Treaty of Orleans, and the Dauphin's subsequent adherence to its stipulations, England's Lords and Commons had grown increasingly restless. During the remainder of his reign, Henry V declined to call Parliament. After Henry's death and once the Regency had been established, a Parliament was finally called in order to address England's misgivings. The mood of the proceedings was mixed. The war in France had been costly. Retainers, households, troops and loans had to be paid. England's lords had found themselves hard pressed for repayment of Crown debts. The Lords understood that only the greatest among them, and even then only those select few enjoying the King's favour, would profit greatly from England's newly acquired possessions in France. In contrast to the discontent of the nobles, the Commons were emboldened and enthusiastic. The populace had endured harsh taxation throughout the long war with France, and most desired an end to the burden. Having bitterly fought for an Act of Resumption ever since Henry IV's days, the Commons now looked on the latest political development as a golden opportunity to push further still. The Council was in a difficult position and was hard pressed to come to a concensus and make a decision. The Commons expected the King to pay for the defense of England's continental possessions out of his newly acquired possessions in France, while the nobles coveted the nwe lucrative positions on the continent, and were demanding payment for services rendered. For the meantime, stability in France was threatening stability in England.

Action B, C of 164163 - Negotiation at Troyes for England

Description

Having been unable to secure his rights to the Crown of St. Louis, Henry V left his infant son and the Regency Council in a murky situation. The death of the King of France, and the contempt which met the pretensions of the Lancaster heir meant that only war could enforce their rights. With a baby on the throne, and the Council showing signs of infighting, there was little the realm could afford to accomplish.

Action B of 164221 - Jacqueline of Hainault for England

Description

After the death of Charles VI, the infant son of Henry V had inherited the crown of France in accordance with the Treaty of Troyes. This treaty, with Burgndian aid, had granted the English command of the administration of France. However, the majority of France remained largely out of English hands. The English Council were treaty bound to undertake the enormous task of conquering the remnants of France. Thus, John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford and now Regent of France continued to seek the aid of Duke Philip of Burgundy 'the good' and so approached Philip and John VI, Duke of Brittany with an alliance proposal. Specifically, Bedford proposed a marriage alliance to reafirm their treaty commitments and so Philip offered his sisters, Anne and Margaret as brides for Bedford and Arthur of Brittany, Earl of Richmond. How shall Bedford proceed?

Action A of 164180 - English Final Victory for England

Description

The Treaty of Troyes bound the English to subdue the lands held by the Dauphin and his supporters. Though the Treaty guaranteed a status quo for those who swore allegiance to the King of England, any who refused had, by the same stipulation, commited treason. Thus, the lands, titles and possessions of the traitors, indeed their very lives snd livelihood, were now forfeit. Their material wealth was to be seized and resumed to the Crown, whom was free to distribute such wealth as they saw fit. In late spring of 1424, by letters pattent issued in the infant King Henry VI's name, John Duke Bedford and Regent of France was given King Rene I's lands in France, along with the Duchy of Alencon. The Duchy of Anjou was to become a formal possession of the Crown of France. Such a move was just as political and militant, as it was legal. The English were preparing to subdue French resistance in the counties of Maine and Anjou.

unless prevented by
Action A of 164180 - English Final Victory for England

Description

The treaty of Troyes not only made Henry V successor of Charles VI, it confirmed him both as the sovereign lord and as the ally of Philip, Duke of Burgundy which meant, in practical terms, that Philip was staking his own great authority, both as lord and as leader of a political faction in France, behind the treaty. Such support was of incalculable value to the English. It meant that, where necessary, ducal pressure could be brought to bear upon individuals and corporations to accept the treaty's terms, and when Henry V died, it led to a more rapid and more general acceptance of his young son in Burgundian-controlled lands than might otherwise have been achieved. Such support would prove costly. The Burgundians were at pains to ensure payments were timely and in no short supply. No small wonder, then, that Philip was given several counties surrounding the County of Burgundy, and retained de facto control over the vast counties of Champagne and Nivernais.

Actions

A. Grant our cousin of Burgundy Macon, Auxerre and confirm his estates!

  • Stability +1
  • +25 relations with Burgundy

Action A of 164180 - English Final Victory for England

Description

During the English siege of the city of Orleans, the inhabitants of Orleans offered to surrender peacefully, provided Orleans would fall to the jurisdiction of the Duke of Burgundy, rather than Bedford. Not long before, Charles had made a deal with Philip Duke of Burgundy promising Orleans to the Duke in exchange for his ceasing of hostilities towards the Dauphinists. Henry VI's Regent in France, Bedford, taken aback by this development, reacted harshly and rebutted what he considered to be an outrageous insult. Needless to say, the Duke of Burgundy became infuriated, abandoning Bedford's forces altogether. The relations between the two were deeply hurt, but the notion that such a hard fought province would fall to Burgundy was simply too incredible to consider seriously.

Actions

A. Absolute nonsense! Orleans is ours!

  • -50 relations with Burgundy
  • Revolt risk value in Orléanais +5

Description

In 1427, the position of Henry VI in France was still not ensured due to the resistance of the Dauphin the widespread support he was receiving. To make matters worse, Burgundy seemed to be putting forth a lackluster effort towards pacifying the rebels in the south. Though Bedford wished to solidify the Lancastrian hold on Maine and Anjou, the Earl of Salisbury demanded firmer action and fervant prosecution of the war against the Dauphin. Bedford reluctantly agreed to send Salisbury to take the Loire Valley and eventually Orleans, the heavily fortified town and home of the Duke of Orleans. There were those besides Bedford who disliked the plan, as attacking the lands of a captive was widely considered a dishonourable act. The Duke of Orleans was a captive in London and had been since Agincourt. Nevertheless, the treaty of Troyes was firmly on the side of those who wished to press onwards...

In 1427, the position of Henry VI in France was still not ensured due to the resistance of the Dauphin and the widespread support he was receiving. To make matters worse, Burgundy seemed to be putting forth a lackluster effort towards pacifying the rebels in the south. Though Bedford wished to solidify the Lancastrian holdings north of the Loire, the Earl of Salisbury demanded firmer action and fervant prosecution of the war against the Dauphin in the name of the Treaty of Troyes. Bedford finally settled on the aim to unite England's northern and southern territories. Salisbury was saddled with this monumental task. Letters patent signed in Henry VI's name granted Bedford the Duchy of Touraine, while Salisbury was promised the county of Poitou.

The Duke of Burgundy, particularly so in these lands so close to his own duchy, held more sway and had, for what it was worth, governed the region for most of Henry VI's reign.

Joan was given into the hands of the Parisian doctors of theology who, helped by various inquisitors and lay officials, tortured the Maid with the aim of getting her to deny the divine nature of her voices, proving her a witch and thus weakening the legitimacy of the Consecration of Charles VII. In spite of months of trial, Joan was finally cleared of charges of witchcraft. Even if the judges denied the divine nature of her voices, they credited them to a laudable religious exaltation, and allowed the Maid to take the veil in a save convent in the Diocese of Beauvais.

After months of investigation, trial, and infamies, and in spite of the attempts of Bishop of Beauvais, Cauchon, to avoid the execution, Joan was finally declared a witch. On May 14, 1431, she was burned alive in Rouen. However, the result did not meet the hopes of Bedford: the affair had been carried out so confusedly that even on the English side doubt appeared. As the Virgin was on her pyre in the old market, one Englishman exclaimed 'My God, we burned a saint...'

Description

Despite the Treaty of Troyes, nothing was gained for England as long as they were resisted in the south by the Dauphin Charles and his Armagnac entourage. The Treaty bound England to destroy the Dauphin and recover any and all of the lands in his possession. Now, most of these lands were surrendering voluntarily to English forces. The Dauphin's son, Louis, would be hard pressed to maintain unity around him. Nevertheless, Louis could be utilized by any one of Henry VI's enemies, thus it would be best if Louis was removed entirely from the political scene. The Dauphinists must be eliminated, and the senior Valois line extinguished. The Treaty of Troyes demanded nothing less.

Captured by Burgundy and held by Philip the Good who hesitated over her fate, Joan was finally delivered to the English, who paid the ransom required while Charles VII looked the other way. The Maid, now in the hands of her enemies, had compromised English claims since the Consecration. To reverse this, execution was insufficient. She had to be shown a heretic to undermine her alleged divine mission and thus strike at Charles' legitimacy. For that, the English still had a weapon in hand: the theologians of the University of Paris and a trial for witchcraft.

Triggered by

Action A, B of 137061 - Henry VI Inherits the Crown of France for Burgundy

Description

On October 21, 1422, King Charles VI of France died in complete isolation. In accordance with the Treaty of Troyes, Charlse VI's son, Charles does not inherit the throne. Instead it is Henry V's son, the infant Henry VI, who inherits the Crown of St. Louis. Charles, residing south of the Loire, would be declared a bastard and unfit for the Crown of France. The English commanders in France led by Henry V's brother, the Duke of Bedford, now concerned themselves with consolidating their positions north of the Loire. The territories south and east of Paris were hostile to the foreign government now ruling from Paris and Rouen. The rebels would need to be put down in an effort to subjugate the population.

164166. The Treaty of Orleans

England — Not random

Triggered by

Action A of 170290 - The Treaty of Orleans for France

Description

From the negotiations at Troyes emerged a treaty that was eventually signed at Orleans. Henry V, enomoured with Charles' daughter, Katherine, demanded her hand in marriage and the Duchies of Normandy and Guyenne which were to be held by Henry free from liege homage to the King of France. It was in effect a return to Henry's demands before the bulk of HEnry's forces had landed in Normandy, and to what the Armagnacs had promised him years before. Charles Duke of Orleans along with Jean Duke of Bourbon, after spending several years as prisoners in London, were ransomed back to France and lent the treaty their full support. Most importantly, Henry V was to renounce his claim to the throne of France. Charles VI was constrained to agree to Henry's proposal. The English were pacified and the Armagnacs claimed political success. Eager to solidify popular support and capture an air of legitimacy, the Kings of England and France, and the Dukes of Bourbon and Orleans would hold a public ceremony in Paris where each swore an extraordinary oath on behalf of themselves and their blood lines to uphold the treaty stipulations. Henry V formally renounced his claim to the throne of France. The Duke of Burgundy, who had stormed out of the Troyes negotiations, refused to attend the ceremonies. Eager to garner the support of the realm for his decision, Henry V wasted no time calling to session a Parliament that quickly ratified the treaty. Nevertheless, Guyenne was held by the Dauphin and his supporters, and it was clear that Henry V would need a lasting peace with Charles Dauphin of France.

164174. Treaty of Amiens, 1423

England — Not random

Triggered by

Action A of 134012 - Treaty of Amiens, 1423 for Brittany

Description

After some deliberation, Philip, Duke of Burgundy and John VI, Duke of Brittany agreed to Bedford's proposal. Within weeks of the treaty, Bedford was married to Anne of Burgundy while Arthur of Brittany, Earl of Richmond married Margaret of Burgundy. Perhaps more importantly, Burgundy and Brittany reaffirmed their commitments to the Treaty of Troyes, acknowledging Bedford as Regent of France. Thus the alliance between England, Burgundy and Brittany was reafirmed. Nevertheless, the stability as such was questionable, and neither leader trusted the other entirely. At the very least, Bedford was now free to persue the conquest of France without interference from Burgundy or Brittany. In England the Treaty of Amiens was celebrated as a token of Bedford's ability as Regent of France. Well done!

Actions

A. Excellent!

  • Stability +1
  • Gain an alliance with Burgundy
  • Gain a royal marriage with Brittany
  • +50 relations with Burgundy
  • +50 relations with Brittany
  • -25 relations with Dauphiné
