Why and How?
During the birth of Jeanne d'Arc, a truce between England and France was in place, maintaining peace. However, a war had been brewing between two factions of the French royal family, the Armagnacs, led by Duke Charles of Orleans, the future Dauphin of France, and the Burgundians, led by Duke John-the-Fearless of Burgundy.
This dispute caused the French diplomats' failure to extend the above mentioned truce with England on its expiry, allowing King Henry V to cite his family's claim to the throne of France, and hence invading it in August 1415.
The forces of Philip III, the son of Duke John-the-Fearless of Burgundy joined the English forces, supporting Henry VI's claim to the French throne (7 yr old son of Henry V) and later captured Jeanne D'Arc, handing her over to the British for the Rouen trial.
