In 1418 John's troops set about the task of gaining Paris. On 30 May, he captured the city, but not before the Dauphin Charles, had escaped. John then installed himself in the city and made himself protector of the King. Although not an open ally of the English, John did nothing to prevent the surrender of Rouen in 1419. With the whole of northern France in English hands and Paris occupied by Burgundy, the Dauphin tried to bring about a reconciliation with John. They met in July and swore peace on the bridge of Pouilly, near Melun.
WI negotiations between Charles and John failed and Charles claims the Crown (he was a grandson of Jean II de France in the male line) and makes matters really complicated in France by being a third claimant after Henry V of England and Charles VI of France? Is this possible?
