Hundred Yearsâ War

Following the Treaty of Arras signed on September 21, 1435, France successfully recovered Paris from English influence through a diplomatic shift that ended the civil war between the French crown and the Burgundians.12
By reconciling with Philip the Good, Charles VII effectively isolated the English, who had previously relied on the Burgundian alliance to maintain their position in the capital. With the civil conflict terminated, English support in the Ăle-de-France region collapsed rapidly. Consequently, Paris submitted to the authority of Charles VII on April 13, 1436, and the king was welcomed into the city in person the following year.123
