Treaty of Troyes

Setting
The nave of the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Troyes, France. The high vaulted ceilings loom above, with stained glass windows casting colored light onto the stone floor. A large wooden table, draped in rich fabrics, stands at the center, surrounded by high-backed chairs for the dignitaries.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Henry V of England
primary
A tall, well-built man in his early 30s with sharp, angular features. His face bears the marks of battle—a faint scar near his left eyebrow and a weathered complexion. His dark brown hair is cropped short in a practical military style, and his piercing blue eyes command attention. His posture exudes confidence and authority.
Charles VI of France
primary
A gaunt man in his early fifties with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, his once-regal bearing now diminished by years of mental instability. His thinning gray hair is unkempt, and his hands tremble slightly. His pale complexion contrasts sharply with the rich fabrics of his royal attire.
Philip the Good
secondary
A tall, well-built man in his mid-20s with sharp, aristocratic features, piercing blue eyes, and neatly trimmed dark brown hair. His posture exudes confidence and authority, befitting his status as Duke of Burgundy.
English Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, slightly hunched from years of bending over parchment. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and deep-set eyes that dart between the document and the negotiating parties. His hands are stained with ink, and his fingers show the calluses of a practiced writer.
French Nobleman
background
A middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is rigid, betraying his aristocratic upbringing, and his hands are adorned with several ornate rings.
Dialog
King Henry V of England
By the grace of God and the rights of our ancestors, this treaty shall bind our realms in peace and prosperity. Let it be written thus, and signed without delay.
Charles VI of France
We... we must consider... the blood of France... the Dauphin...
Philip the Good
Your Majesty, the welfare of France demands unity. This treaty ensures stability—lest the kingdom fracture further under discord.
King Henry V of England
The ink dries swiftly, my lord. Hesitation serves neither crown nor people.
Charles VI of France
Par le sang du Christ... what have I done... what have I done...
Philip the Good
History will remember this day as one of wisdom, Your Grace. The future is secured.
King Henry V of England
Let the scribe record it: Henry, by right and treaty, heir to France. Thus is the will of God and men.
