- 1415: Henry V of England destroys the French at Agincourt. The French were ruled by a mad king and the country was in a civil war between the Armagnacs, and the Burgundians.
- 1428: The French push back when Joan of Arc relieved the siege of Orléans. She was captured by the Burgundians & died as a heretic.
