| Additional information |
Charles VI ruled France for over four decades but by 1419 held effective power over almost nothing. The Treaty of Troyes the following year would formally disinherit his own son and hand succession to Henry V of England — a capitulation extracted while the king cycled through recurring bouts of psychosis so severe his courtiers called him Charles le Fol. Coins issued in his name during this period were struck under Burgundian-aligned authority as the civil war between Armagnacs and Bourguignons had fractured royal administration entirely.
The dauphin — later Charles VII — continued striking competing issues from territories he still controlled south of the Loire.
