Entry of Burgundian in Paris.

The Armagnacs, sunken to Paris in 1413, had punished the rebellious city hard, and contained the people only by terror; the son of an iron merchant of the Small-Bridge, called Perrinet the Clerk, having been beaten by them, solved to be avenged: he bound with a secret agent of Burgundian, involved some friends, and during the night, at one hour agreed upon, he furtively went to open theSaint-Germain foreman: the lord of Isle Adam, which was held ready with 800 Burgundian, entered at once and occupied the principal points of Paris: the transported people of joy raised themselves with the cry of "Sharp Burgundy! ", and the Armagnacs did not even have time to be assembled to defend oneself: happiest fled with the Bastille, others hid; all those which were taken were massacred (Mall 1418).

Fights in Paris.

When the Armagnacs taken refuge with the Bastille knew the small number of the Burgundian ones, they left the fortress, sixteen hundreds, and advanced by the street Saint-Anthony until the accesses of the Town hall, while shouting: "gained City, kill all! ", but the people, running of all share, threw themselves on them with rage, while the stones rained of the windows; the Armagnacs regained the Bastille only after having lost four hundreds as of theirs.

The rabble sought then all the Armagnacs which were held hidden in the houses, and these unhappy, eight hundreds, soldiers, noble, middle-class, same priests and women perished until the last in dreadful torments (June 1418).

Assassination of Jean without Fear.

The chiefs of the two enemy parties, Jean without Fear and the Dolphin, had taken go to the bridge of Montereau to deliberate there on the danger on the kingdom.

Each one of them was to bring with him ten men armed only with swords and coats of mail, but people of the Dolphin, among which was Tanneguy of Châtel, hid axes under their clothes, and, at the time when Jean bent the knee to greet his lord, Tanneguy struck it with the face of a great blow of axe and killed it.

At once the two troops transfer some with the hands, but the Burgundian ones, less well armed, were killed soon or taken: only one of them escaped.

As for the Dolphin, it had been withdrawn at the beginning of the fray (September 1419.)

The princes, the noble ones, the middle-class and the people are divided into two camps: Burgundian the or in favour ones of the duke of Burgundy Jean without Fear, and the Armagnacs its enemies.

The people of Paris, involved by the butchers and especially by the Caboche flayer, throw themselves in the party of the duke of Burgundy; the greatest part of the nobility lines up side of the Armagnacs.

France is afflicted by the civil war.

Jean without Peur returns to Paris and satisfies his revenges, but the Parisian middle-class, frightened excesses of the rabble, opens the doors with the Armagnacs (1413), and Jean without Peur flees in Flanders.

the English, benefitting from the disorders of France, unload in Normandy, and gain in Artois, in Azincourt, a victory equal to that of Poitiers (1415).

The people of Paris, helped by the Burgundian ones, massacre the Armagnacs (1418), but Jean without Peur are assassinated in his turn with the bridge of Montereau by the servants of the Dolphin, become the chief of the Armagnacs (1419).

the Burgundian ones, mislaid by hatred, declare the Dolphin unworthy of the throne, and sign with the king of England Henri V, which has just taken Rouen, the infamous treaty of Troyes, by which they declare it heir to Charles VI (1420); Paris opens its doors with the English.
