Note

He was an English soldier and statesman. John was made lieutenant of
England when his Brother invaded France in 1415, during the Hundred Years'
War. In 1416 John commanded the English fleet that defeated the French at
the mouth of the Seine River. In 1422, after his Brother's Death, John was
designated protector and defender of the kingdom for the Young King Henry
VI. Transferring his duties in England to his Brother Humphrey, duke of
Gloucester, John took over the conduct of English affairs in France in
order to consolidate the English position against further French
opposition. After reaffirming the alliance made in 1420 by Henry V with
Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, John and Philip in 1424 gained a
victory at Verneuil, France, over the Dauphin, later King Charles VII of
France. In 1429 John's forces were defeated by the French heroine Joan of
Arc at the siege of Orl?s and the subsequent Battle of Patay. Two years
later, when Joan, who had been captured by the Burgundians, was turned
over to the English, John allowed her to be burned at the stake as a
heretic. Thereafter John's plans for the conquest of France were
frustrated by the defection to France of Philip the Good.
