Charles VII of France was not coronated in 1422 but on July 17, 1429. He was no longer heir to Charles VI of France at the time of his father's death. His nephew Henry VI of England was. What is the source of the information here? User:Dimadick
- Charles was coronated King of France in 1422. However, the name France only applied to the southern parts of what is now modern-day France. Aquitaine went to Henry VI, along with Normandy and became (for a time) part of England - though Henry wasn't coronated until 1429, since he was only 1 year old at the time of the death of Charles VI. See the very articles you linked, along with Valois Dynasty, and List of French monarchs to confirm the dates. GeeJo (t) (c) • 12:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
