Charles VII ruled as King of France 1422-1461, during a time of war with England and a civil war between the Armagnacs (supporters of the House of Valois) and the Burgundian party. His court was situated in Bourges at the time of this document. The Kings military position was strengthened with the help and inspiration of Joan of Arc, which lead to several important military victories and the King was crowned at Reims cathedral in 1429.
