Charles VI of France Dies
October 21, 1422
The mad king who had thought himself made of glass finally shattered in Paris, leaving his kingdom split between English-occupied north and Dauphinist south. His obsequies were paid for by the English regent. Crowds in Paris wept. For the first time in forty years, no one was trying to murder him.
