Aftermath — Henry VI, etc.
"...that they lost France, and made his England bleed."

Dying two years before Charles VI, Henry was never officially crowned King of France. Henry's infant son, Henry VI, succeeded him as King of England and France — and remains, to this day, the only English King ever to have officially occupied the French throne. Because Henry VI came to the English throne as an infant, however, English and French factions schemed endlessly to claim the throne of both nations, causing a continuation of the Hundred Years' War in which England lost virtually all of the French lands gained by Henry V's 1415 invasion and the subsequent Treaty of Troyes (see entry below).
