Charles VII Entrees Triomphalement a Paris (Charles VII Triumphantly Entrees Paris), a captivating historical print depicting the momentous entry of King Charles VII into Paris in 1436. This significant event marked the end of the Hundred Years War between France and England and the beginning of the reign of the House of Valois in France. The print, created in the late 19th century, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of France. The image shows King Charles VII, dressed in royal attire and mounted on horseback, making his triumphant entrance into the city of Paris. Surrounded by his loyal soldiers and nobles, the king is greeted with jubilation and celebration from the citizens of Paris. The city's grand architecture, including the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Sainte-Chapelle, can be seen in the background, adding to the majesty and splendor of the scene. The Hundred Years War, which began in 1337, was a series of conflicts between England and France for control of the French throne. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Troyes in 1429, which made the English king, Henry VI, the heir to the French throne. However, the French people refused to accept English rule, and Joan of Arc, a peasant girl from the village of Domrémy, emerged as a hero and led the French army to several victories. In 1431, Joan of Arc was captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English, who put her on trial and burned her at the stake in 1431. After Joan of Arc's death, the French nobility turned to Charles VII to lead them in the war against the English. In 1436, Charles VII successfully recaptured Paris, marking the end of English rule in France and the beginning of the House of Valois. This print commemorates this pivotal moment in French history and the triumphant return of the rightful king to his capital city.
