The capture of Paris by Henry V, King of England, occurred in 1420, a pivotal event during the Hundred Years' War. Following the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, Henry V capitalized on his triumph to claim the French throne, leading to his triumphant entry into Paris. This marked a significant phase of English dominance over northern France, though it would eventually be reversed in later stages of the prolonged conflict.
