The Fall at Jargeau

Introduction
The key to the victory of the French House of Valois in the Hundred Years' War was the famous Jeanne d'Arc (English: Joan of Arc). As soon as Jeanne partook in the war, everything changed — she lifted the Siege of Orléans in nine days and scored several quick victories that led to the consecration of Charles VII at Reimes. While Jeanne was later captured by the English and burnt to death, all this directly paved the way to the final French victory.

But what if this didn't happen? What if Jeanne died far earlier in the war, dying to an attack she survived in our timeline, and never boosted the French prowess and morale? What if Henry V didn't die so early? What if the English and the House of Plantagenet won the Hundred Years' War? What if the lack of a French threat allowed the survival of Burgundy?

Summary
On 11 June 1429, Jeanne d'Arc dies from a head injury after being struck in the face by a stone projectile during the Battle of Jargeau (Bypassing her helmet). This creates massive chaos in the French army; the English get the upper hand and kill John II, Duke of Alençon. The remaining French armies barely escape with the body of Jeanne d'Arc.

This disastrous failure turns the tide of the war back to the English, who finally defeat the French Valois by 1434. As Henry V is still alive in this timeline, his victory in the war, his recognition as heir to the French throne in the Treaty of Troyes and his marriage to Catherine of Valois cements the union of France and England.

Due to England being tied to a continental nation, it would never develop its interest in unmatched seapower, instead preferring to use it for advantages on land as France did. Because of this, colonization would go completely different, with the English never really colonizing North America or various other nations. Additionally, with no serious French threat to the nation, Burgundy survives and continues expanding. This creates a very different world scene.
