After Charles VI's death, who was to inherit the French crown?
The English king
The Dauphin
The Duke of Orleans
The Duke of Burgundy
Answer
The English king was the rightful heir to the French throne due to his familial connection to the French royal family through his mother, Isabella, who was the daughter of Philip IV of France. This claim was supported by the Treaty of Troyes, signed in 1420, which recognized Henry V of England as the heir to the French throne upon Charles VI's death.
