The chanting of the psalms was resumed around him, and he expired on the 31st of August, 1422, at the age of thirty-four.

On the 22d of October, 1422, less than two months after the death of Henry V., Charles VI., King of France, died at Paris in the forty-third year of his reign.

As soon as he had been buried at St.Denis, the Duke of Bedford, regent of France according to the will of Henry V., caused a herald to proclaim, "Long live Henry of Lancaster, King of England and of France!" The people's voice made very different proclamation.

The goodness he had given glimpses of in his lucid intervals had made him an object of tender pity.
