The Treaty of Troyes
"We have agreed to all terms of reason..."

Signed almost five years after the Battle of Agincourt, the Treaty of Troyes stipulated that King Henry V of England and his heirs in perpetuity would, upon the death of the French King Charles VI, inherit the French throne. The treaty also arranged for the marriage of Charles' daughter, Catherine of Valois, to Henry, and disinherited Charles' male issue from succession. Henry, however, would never sit on the French throne, as he died two years before Charles, in 1422. (See "Aftermath," above.)
