Charles VII of France
Reigned as King of France from 1422 to 1461. Charles VII ascended to the throne during the Hundred Years' War, a period marked by conflict between France and England. His rule is characterized by significant military and political events, including the lifting of the Siege of Orléans in 1429, largely attributed to Joan of Arc. This victory played a crucial role in restoring French prestige and unifying the country. The coronation at Reims in July 1429 legitimized his rule and solidified his power. Charles implemented administrative reforms that strengthened the monarchy and improved tax collection. He navigated the complexities of feudal loyalties and diplomatic relationships with European powers. Under his leadership, France recovered a considerable amount of territory lost to England.
