292. Accession of Henry; Renewal of the French War.

The heir to all the vast dominions left by Henry V was proclaimed King

of England and France when in his cradle, and crowned, while still a

child, first in Westminster Abbey and then at Paris.

But the accession to the French possesions was merely an empty form,

refused to abide by the Treaty of Troyes (S290) and give up the

throne, war again broke out.
