Assassination of John the Fearless : ウィキペディア英語版 | Assassination of John the Fearless
John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, was assassinated on the bridge at Montereau on 10 September 1419 during a parley with the French dauphin (the future Charles VII of France), by Tanneguy du Chastel and Jean Louvet, the dauphin's close counsellors. == Context == (詳細はHundred Years War. Two rival factions, the Armagnacs and the Burgundians, vied for power within the regency council headed by the queen Isabeau of Bavaria. The duke of Orléans and leader of the Armagnacs, Louis I of Orléans, is said to have gained an advantage by becoming the queen's lover, with the subsequent allegation that Charles VII was the duke of Orléans' illegitimate son. John the Fearless, sensing that he was losing power, had Louis of Orléans assassinated in Paris in 1407. This event led to a civil war between the Armagnacs and the Burgundians. When the English invaded Normandy, John the Fearless maneuvered to deal with them carefully, because the Low Countries, which belonged to him, were dependent on the supply of English wool for the production of draperies. Therefore, he only sent a few troops to fight them. He profited from the war by taking power in Paris, supported by the academics and artisans. However, since the English crushed the French knights at Agincourt in 1415, putting an end to the civil war was urgent. John the Fearless and the dauphin Charles met on July 8, 1419, at Pouilly-le-Fort, then again on July 11. On July 19, their forthcoming reconciliation was celebrated in Paris with a Te Deum. That, however, was delayed by an English attack which, progressing along the course of the Seine, seized Poissy on July 31 and threatened Paris. The Duke of Burgundy had the royal family evacuated to Troyes, in the East. Finally, John and Charles agreed to seal their alliance on the bridge across the Seine at Montereau on September 10, 1419.
