Truce of Tours
1444
England and France signed a truce including Henry VI's marriage agreement to Margaret of Anjou. The war's final phase was temporarily suspended. Both kingdoms were exhausted; Henry's government was weak; the Dauphinists had recovered most of France. The truce would eventually give way to final French offensives in Normandy and Guyenne.
