| biography:
| King of France (1422–61), born in Paris, France. At his accession, the N of the country was in English hands, with Henry VI proclaimed King of France, but after Joan of Arc roused the fervour of both nobles and people, the siege of Orléans was raised (1429), and the English gradually lost nearly all they had gained in France. Under his rule France recovered in some measure from her calamities. |
