Charles V of France was king of his country between the years of 1364 and 1380. During his reign, France saw a reversal of its bad fortunes in the Hundred Years' War (called the Caroline Phase of the war), almost managing to beat the English out of France altogether. However, Charles died suddenly in 1380, at his early fourties, and was succeeded by his insane and ineffectual son, Charles VI.
