Charles VII

("photo" 20 years old) Charles VII, known as “the Victorious” or “the Well Served”, born at the Hôtel Saint-Pol in Paris on February 22, 1403 and died at the Château de Mehun-sur-Yèvre, a royal residence located in Mehun-sur-Yèvre, between Bourges and Vierzon, July 22, 1461, was king of France from 1422 to 1461. He was the fifth king of the so-called Valois branch of the Capetian dynasty.

Charles VII is the son of Charles VI and Isabeau of Bavaria. King inseparable from the epic of Joan of Arc, he succeeded, during a long reign of almost forty years, almost as long as that of his father and predecessor on the throne (1380 – 1422), in overthrowing a compromised situation.
