Charles VII

est devenu roi en 1422 en pleine guerre civile entre Armagnacs et Bourguignons, compliquée d'une intervention militaire anglaise victorieuse depuis la bataille d'Azincourt (1415). Chef de fait du parti armagnac, il est déshérité par son père au traité de Troyes (1420) au profit du roi Henri V d'Angleterre puis du fils de ce dernier, Henri VI.

Charles VII

became king in 1422 during the civil war between the Armagnacs and the Burgundians, complicated by a victorious English military intervention since the Battle of Azincourt (1415). De facto leader of the Armagnac party, he was disinherited by his father at the Treaty of Troyes (1420) to the benefit of King Henry V of England and then of the latter’s son, Henry VI. Retreated to the south of the Loire, the «king of Bourges», as he is nicknamed by derision, sees his legitimacy and military situation clearly improved thanks to the intervention of Joan of Arc. This one delivers Orléans and leads Charles VII to the ceremony of the coronation in Reims.
Charles VII takes faith in himself and steals from success in success, served by effective advisers and... another woman whose he makes the first official mistress of a king of France, Agnès Sorel, hence its nickname: the Bien Servi.
His advisors, often poorly rewarded by their sovereign, will return to France its place in the heart of Western Europe, engage its administrative modernization and drive out the English, Ending the Hundred Years' War for good.
Often criticized by posterity for having slowed down the reconquest of France begun by Joan of Arc and for having abandoned it to its fate after victory, Charles nevertheless had her formally rehabilitated in 1456 and cleared of any charge of heresy. He also worked to restore the economy thanks to Jacques Cœur, after having driven the English out of the kingdom.
