Charles VI of France

Charles VI of France (1368–1422) was a king known for his mental health struggles, which affected his rule. His episodes of confusion and insanity led to political instability, as he was often unable to make decisions. During his reign, England and France fought the Hundred Years' War, and his inability to lead effectively contributed to civilian and military challenges. His periods of madness also caused internal conflict among nobles vying for power. Despite his personal difficulties, Charles VI was committed to maintaining France’s sovereignty, but his condition significantly impacted the kingdom's stability during a turbulent period.
