In the ensuing chaos, the Plantagenets captured Paris in 1420. In 1422, [[Henry V of England]] died at the [[Château de Vincennes]], just outside the city. [[Charles VII of France]] tried but failed to retake the city in 1429, despite the assistance of [[Joan of Arc]] (who was wounded in the attempt). Two years later, [[Henry VI of England]] was crowned King of France at Notre-Dame. French persistence paid off in 1436 when Charles finally managed to retake the city in April after several failed sieges. |
