Henry went back in triumph to England. Two years later, he again
invaded France. His victorious course continued. By the Treaty of
Troyes (1420) he gained all that he had planned to get. He obtained
large sums of money, the French Princess Catharine in marriage, and
the promise of the crown of France on the death of her father, Charles
VI, who was then insane and feeble. Meantime Henry was to govern the
French kingdom as regent.
Henry returned to England with the bride he had won by the sword, but
he was soon recalled to France by a revolt against his power. He died
there, leaving an infant son, Henry. Two months afterward Charles VI
died, so that by the terms of the treaty Henry's son now inherited the
French Crown.
