.
But when Philip declined to undertake this office, use of the Irish See also:language, and personally undertook the duties it too was assumed by Bedford, who, after the See also:death of the See also:French generally discharged by the bishop's See also:lay See also:chancellor
.
In 1633 king See also:Charles VI. in See also:October 1422, presided at a session of the
See also:parlement of See also:Paris, and compelled all present to take an See also:oath of fidelity to King Henry VI
.
Meanwhile the English See also:parliament had decided that Bedford should be " See also:protector and defender " of the kingdom, and that in his See also:absence the office should devolve upon his brother See also:Humphrey, duke of See also:Gloucester
.
Confining himself to the conduct of affairs in France the protector took up Henry V.'s See also:work of See also:conquest, captured Meulan and other places, and sought to strengthen his position by an See also:alliance with Philip of Burgundy
.
This task was rendered more difficult as Gloucester had just married Jacqueline, countess of See also:- HOLLAND

Holland and See also:Hainaut, a See also:union which gave the English duke a claim on lands which Philip hoped to secure for himself
.
Bedford, however, having allayed Philip's irritation, formed an alliance with him and with John VI., duke of See also:Brittany, at See also:Amiens in See also:April 1423, and himself arranged to marry See also:Anne, a See also:sister of the Burgundian duke
.
This See also:marriage was celebrated at See also:Troyes in the following June, and the See also:war against Charles, the dauphin of France, was prosecuted with vigour and success
.
Bedford sought to restore prosperity to the districts under his See also:rule by reforming the debased coinage, granting privileges to merchants and manufacturers, and removing various abuses
.
He then granted some counties to Philip to check the growing hostility between him and Gloucester, and on the 17th of See also:August 1424 gained a great victory over a combined army of French and Scots at See also:Verneuil
.
But in spite of the efforts of the protector the good understanding between England and Burgundy was partially destroyed when Gloucester invaded Hainaut in October 1424
.
The ambition of his brother gave Bedford trouble in another direction also; for on his return from Hainaut Gloucester quarrelled with the chancellor, Henry See also:Beaufort, bishop of See also:Winchester, and the See also:council implored Bedford to come to England to See also:settle this dispute
.
He reached London in See also:January 1426, and after concluding a See also:bond of alliance with Gloucester effected a reconciliation between the duke and the chancellor; and knighted the young king, Henry VI
.
Bedford then promised to act in accordance with the will of the council, and in See also:harmony with the decision of this See also:body raised a body of troops and re-turned to France in See also:March 1427
.
Having ordered Gloucester to desist from a further attack on Hainaut, he threatened Brittany and compelled Duke John to return to the English alliance; and the success of his troops continued until the See also:siege of See also:- ORLEANS

.
Having assured himself that Philip was prepared to See also:desert him, Bedford sent orders to his army to raise the siege in April 1429
.
He then acted with great See also:energy and See also:judgment in attempting to See also:stem the See also:tide of disasters which followed this failure, strengthened his hold upon Paris, and sent to England for reinforcements; but before any engagement took place he visited See also:Rouen, where he sought to bind the See also:Normans closer to England, and after his return to Paris resigned the French regency to Philip of Burgundy in accordance with the wish of the Parisians
.
Retaining the See also:government of Normandy Bedford established himself at Rouen and directed the movements of the English forces with some success
.
He did not interfere to See also:save the See also:life of See also:Joan of Arc
.
He was joined by Henry VI. in April 1430, when the regency was temporarily suspended, and he secured Henry's See also:coronation at Paris in December 1431
.
In See also:November 1432 his wife Anne died, and in April 1433 he was married at Therouanne to Jacqueline, daughter of See also:Pierre I., See also:count of St Pol
.
But notwithstanding Bedford's vigour the English lost ground steadily; and the death of Anne and this marriage destroyed the friendly relations between England and Burgundy
.
Negotiations for See also:peace had no result, and when the duke returned to England in June 1433 he told parliament that he had come See also:home to defend himself against the See also:charge that the losses in France were caused by his neglect, and demanded that his detractors should make their accusations public
.
The chancellor replied that no such charges were known to the king or the council, and the duke was thanked for his great services
.
His next act was to secure an inquiry into the See also:national finances; and when asked by the parliament to stay in England he declared that his services were at the king's disposal
.
Aschief councillor he offered to take a smaller See also:salary than had been previously paid to Gloucester, and undertook this office in December 1433, when his demands with regard to a continual council were conceded
.
Bedford, who was anxious to prosecute the war in France, left England again in 1434, but See also:early in 1435 was obliged to consent to the attendance of English representatives at a See also:congress held to arrange terms of peace at See also:Arras
.
Unable to consent to the French terms the English envoys left Arras in See also:September, and Philip of Burgundy made a See also:separate treaty with France
.
Bedford only lived to see the ruin of the cause for which he struggled so loyally
.
He died at Rouen on the 14th of September 1435, and was buried in the See also:cathedral of that See also:city
.
He left a natural son, See also:Richard, but no legitimate issue
.
Bedford was a See also:man of considerable administrative ability, brave and humane in war, See also:wise and unselfish in peace
.
He was not responsible for the misfortunes of the English in France, and his courage in the See also:face of failure was as admirable as his continued endeavour to make the See also:people under his rule contented and prosperous
