Charles VI of France recognised Henry V of England as his heir and together with Duke Philip of Burgundy they campaigned against the disinherited son, the Dauphin Charles VII. Having captured Sens and Montereau, the allies then besieged Melun, southeast of Paris, held for the Dauphin by Arnaud Guillaume Signeur de Barbazan, who was starved into submission.
