Explain the significance of the Treaty of Troyes in the Hundred Years War.

The Treaty of Troyes, signed in 1420, was significant in the Hundred Years War as it established Henry V of England as the heir to the French throne. This treaty effectively disinherited the Dauphin, the legitimate heir, and divided France between England and Burgundy. It aimed to end the war by uniting the two kingdoms under English rule. However, the treaty ultimately failed to achieve its intended purpose as it faced opposition from the French and led to further conflict and resistance against English occupation.
