Fan Casting Roses Season 4: Folie des Rois

Shifting focus toward France, the season opens with Louis I, Duke of Orleans being assassinated publicly by John the Fearless, his second assassination after the one he previously pulled off on Jean de Montagu's lover Jacqueline. While King Charles VI remains in a bout of madness, Isabeau now reigns on her own, but finds her power threatened by John the Fearless who seeks to claim power over the French throne himself by taking the position of Jean de Montagu. As France delves into a conflict between Jean and John, England faces its own clashes as Henry IV contends with multiple rebellions and Yorkist influence grows. Back in France, Jean fights off John's rebellion but is eventually overwhelmed and captured. Despite Isabeau's attempts to prevent an execution, John executes his rival taking even greater power as he does so, even appointing his children as dukes and duchesses. As the state of France grows increasingly dire, England loses its king after Henry IV falls I'll and passes away. With his son Henry taking the throne as Henry V, the season comes to its conclusion with the new English monarch swiftly stamping out rebellion across his country and leading a successful military campaign into France where he defeats the armies of John the Fearless. The season takes place from 1407-1417
