Henry vi's personal rule, end of the hundred years' war 1436





Even after Henry VI came of age in 1436, he was uninterested in the conventional business of government. Thus although he founded Eton School and King\'s College, Cambridge, he refused to take a personal hand in the French war. Increasingly, a narrow court faction led by the Earl (later Duke) of Suffolk dominated the young king (though an unpopular peace policy with France was probably Henry\'s own initiative). The English resolutely held Normandy until 1444, when Henry sought a twenty-year truce and a French wife. As a result of this initiative, Henry married the French king\'s niece, Margaret of Anjou, and signed the Truce of Tours. However, in 1449, the English sacked the Breton town of Fougeres.

     This was a flagrant breach of the French truce, and the English had neither the men nor the money to fight the general war which resumed. Normandy was lost by 1450, and the English were finally driven out of Bordeaux in 1453. These victories effectively decided the Hundred Years\' War.
