This greater area was known as Burgundy. In 1420 he allied himself with Henry V of England under the Treaty of Troyes. In 1430 he captured Joan of Arc/ sold her to the English, who later roasted her on the stake. In 1435, seeing his English buddies where now on the loosing side in the Hundred Years War, became a turncoat and pledged his allegiance to Charles VII of France. In 1439, he broke his alliance with Charles and sided with the French nobles and Louis the son of the King. That would come back to hurt him later, when the Dauphin became Louis XI &quot;the Spider King&quot;. Later Louis would extend French power into Burgundian territory.[ATTACH=full]1071030[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1071031[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
