WI: Charles VI of France never went insane?

Basically what it says in the title. Charles VI's insanity is what led to a decades-long civil war, the second half of the Hundred years war and the devastation of his kingdom. So lets say he never inherited his madness/mental instability from his grandfather the Duc de Bourbon (not impossible to happen, after all his brother Louis, Duc d'Orléans never seemed to have any mental issues). What would Charles VI's reign look like? A continuation of his father's? What about France and its international status? Could Charles play the same role Sigismund did and end the schism? Would there by any attempt by the English to restart the war or would we finally see a permanent peace between the two nations? Please discuss!
 
England gets kicked half a century earlier .:cool:

Actually, I mean Charles V and du Guesclin had reversed much of the losses of Brétigny treaty (a great example of medieval attrition warfare, using France superior numbers and means at their full extent ) and only the civil war did allow England to retake the offensive. If Charles VI is able to end his father work, the last English places would be conquered in a decade or two, or so I think.

I agree. If Agincourt can be avoided, or if the French win it, then Henry V will not marry Catherine of Valois. There will be no Anglo-Burgundian alliance and John of Bedford will not marry Jacquetta. She in turn will not marry Richard Woodville. Joan of Arc will not experience her visions. Bordeaux will be regained by the French perhaps a generation earlier. Henry VI of England is likelier to more stable and competent and therefore the Wars of the Roses never break out. He will not likely marry Margaret of Anjou. Lastly, Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, will not marry a Tudor and likely marry later.
 
From what I've been told Salic law came about to be as strictly codified as we know of it today due to Charles VI disinheriting his son and the Paris parliament creating legal reasoning why Charles VII should inherit. If Charles VI is successful and passes the inheritance easily could French inheritance law be less strict in the long run?
 
I think you guys are thinking to far ahead. Charles VI's madness began in 1392. The Hundred years war didn't resume until 1415, 23 years later. If France is in a strong position then chances are Henry V would never attack in the first place. As to Aquitaine, Charles VI and the French were willing to negotiate to let England keep what that had. By the 1390s most people thought a peace treaty between England and France was inevitable.
