	Britannia: Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell
		This sparked a bloody feud between the rival forces of 'The Burgundians' led by John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, and 'The Armagnacs' led by Louis of Orleans and his father-in-law, Bernard of Armagnac; each anxious to turn the King's illness to their own advantage by seizing control of the throne of France.

		In 1419 during an attempt to negotiate a truce with the fifteen-year-old Dauphin, John the Fearless was assassinated.

		One faction, called the "Orleanists" or "Armagnacs", was led by Count Bernard VII of Armagnac and Duke Charles of Orleans (whom Joan would later regard with special warmth); their rivals, known as the "Burgundians", were led by Duke John-the-Fearless of Burgundy.

		Meanwhile the Burgundian army was on the move despite all the promises of peace; and on May 6th Charles VII and his counselors finally admitted that the Royal Court had been manipulated by the Duke, "...who has diverted and deceived us by truces and otherwise", as Charles wrote in a letter on that date.
