TREATIES OF TROYES AND AMIENS

-

Under their new duke – Philip the Good – the Burgundian­s officially defect to the English. They first swear allegiance to Henry V at Troyes and then his infant successor Henry VI at Amiens. Their support cements a dual monarchy of England and France with Burgundy providing military support against the Dauphin’s Armagnac supporters.

Philip the Good makes peace with the now crowned Charles VII at the Treaty of Arras, which ends the Armagnacbu­rgundian Civil War. In a volte-face, he also declares war on England and commands a failed siege against Englishhel­d Calais. Burgundian attention then gradually moves away from French affairs.
