But after the birth of his son, OTL Louis XI in 1423. Now, both sides of the Hundred Years War are headed by an infant.

This presumably strengthens the English position, with their French opponents just as bereft of an adult, competent king as they are.

How does this effect the Burgundian position- an infant Louis is no better king (or negotiator/ally) than an infant Henry VI, and the English will look like a slightly better bet than before.

Its also worth noting that the House of Valois-Orleans is also crippled at this point- Charles Duke of Orleans and John Count of Angouleme are imprisoned by the English, and Philip Count of Vertus is dead.

So, who have we got around Louis? There's his mother Marie and was John Count of Armagnac still onside at this point?

Have I made the Hundred Years War more messy for everyone?
