Charles VIII
Charles VIII (1403–61) King of France (1422–61). The son of
Charles VI, he was excluded from the throne by the Treaty of Troyes (1420). When his father died, Charles controlled French lands
s of the River Loire, while the
n remained in English hands. With the support of
Joan of Arc, he checked the English at Orléans and was crowned king at Reims (1429). The Treaty of Arras (1435) ended the hostility of Burgundy, and by 1453 Charles had driven the English out of most of France. Charles strengthened his authority by re-establishing regular taxation and creating a standing army.
