After his father's death in 1413, Henry assumed control of the country, and asserted the pending English claims to the French throne.In 1415, Henry embarked on war with France in the ongoing Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) between the two nations. His military successes culminated in his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) and saw him come close to conquering France. His claim to the kingdom was endorsed by the powerful Duchy of Burgundy, a French vassal whose ruler was a key player in French politics. After months of negotiation with Charles VI of France, the Treaty of Troyes (1420) recognised Henry V as regent and heir apparent to the French throne, and he was subsequently married to Charles's daughter, Catherine of Valois (1401-1437).
Following Henry V's sudden and unexpected death in France two years later, he was succeeded by his infant son, who reigned as Henry VI[3] in England and Henry II in France. The lack of unity and of a political consensus in Henry VI's regency government, coupled with his subsequent ineffectual rule, would jeopardize Henry V's gains and undermine English rule in France.
