Navarre's death came after yet another assassination attempt, this time involving Burgundy and Berry, and he faced a painful demise at the age of 56. His health deteriorated considerably, leaving him weakened and frail, suffering from chills and sweating profusely. In a desperate medical effort, he was wrapped at night in cloths soaked in brandy, which were sewn onto him like a shroud to keep him warm.

Tragically, one evening, a candle held by his valet ignited the brandy-soaked cloth, leading to horrific burns. The King's cries of agony echoed as he endured two weeks of suffering, with doctors powerless to ease his pain, until he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
