Seizing much of Normandy after victory at Agincourt (1415), Henry V of England captured Caen then advanced up the Seine against Rouen. The city, which had a powerful garrison but little food, surrendered after a seven-month siege and widespread starvation. Shortly afterwards, Henry married the daughter of the King of France and was recognised as his heir.
