What happened in England 1428?

In 1428, several significant events occurred in England:

Battle of Verneuil: In August, the Anglo-Burgundian forces suffered a significant defeat at the Battle of Verneuil in Normandy against the French army. Thousands of English and Burgundian soldiers were killed, weakening the English position in France.

Trial and Execution of Joan of Arc: Joan of Arc, a French peasant girl and military leader, was captured by the Burgundians and handed over to the English. In early 1428, she faced trial for heresy and witchcraft by ecclesiastical authorities aligned with the English in Rouen. Despite recanting some of her claims, she was found guilty and sentenced to burn at the stake. Joan of Arc was martyred and subsequently became a symbol of French nationalism and resistance against English occupation.

Death of Thomas, Duke of Clarence: King Henry V's younger brother, Thomas, Duke of Clarence, suddenly died of camp fever or dysentery while pursuing a military campaign in France.

Henry VI Crowned King of France: With the victories achieved by the Anglo-Burgundian forces led by King Henry V in previous years, Henry VI of England was symbolically crowned King of France in Paris, solidifying English claims to the French throne.
