King of France from 1429. Son of Charles VI,
he was excluded from the succession by the
Treaty of Troyes, but recognized by the South
of France. In 1429 Joan of Arc raised the
siege of Orleans and had him crowned at
Reims. He organized France's first standing
army and by 1453 he had expelled the English
from all of France except Calais.
