Charles VII of France

Charles VII (22 February 1403 – 22 July 1461), called the Victorious (French: le Victorieux) or the Well-Served (French: le Bien-Servi) is King of France from 1422 to his death, though he is initially opposed by Henry VI of England, whose Regent, the Duke of Bedford, rules much of France from Paris.

He is a member of the House of Valois, the son of Charles VI, but his succession to the throne is left questionable by the English occupation of northern France.

He is, however, famously crowned in Reims in 1429 through the endeavors of Joan of Arc to free France from the English.

His later reign is marked by struggles with his son, the eventual Louis XI.
