This is a study of Paris during the period in the fifteenth century when it fell under English rule. Paris was the headquarters of the Lancastrian government in northern France, established by the victories of Henry V. Its history thus forms a key chapter in the story of the rule of Henry VI on both sides of the Channel. The English garrison in Paris was always small; Burgundian Frenchmen continued to occupy key posts both in the offices of state and in the municipality. Guy Thompson examines the advantages that, for a time, occupation seemed to offer the indigenous population, and shows how the English were able to retain secure control. He provides a political and administrative history, and offers a fascinating exploration of Parisian society at a unique period of the city's history. Based on a broad range of sources, Paris and Its People is an illuminating and scholarly study which makes an important contribution to the history of the Hundred Years War.
