| Sumario: | This article is devoted to the study of the legal conditions that allowed the King of England Henry V to make a claim to the throne of France. The author points out that by the beginning of the 15th century. in France, there was a fairly stable tradition of the transfer of royal power, which included such principles as primogeniture, agnat law, the «blood right», the exclusion of foreigners, as well as women and their offspring from inheritance. Under the influence of the Hundred Years War, these rules received additional arguments, making the implementation of the claims of the English monarchs almost impossible. However, the political crisis of the beginning of the 15th century. in France, including the death of two dauphins and the royal «schism», created a legal loophole. It consisted in the adoption procedure, according to which King Charles VI of France recognized Henry V as his son and heir. This idea was formed on the basis of the experience of diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Neapolitan in 1419. According to the author, the Treaty of Troyes established new principles for the transfer of the throne and became a compromise between the dynasties of Valois and Lancaster. |
