Henry VI when and where was he crowned king of France?

[Leo van de Pas]

David Williamson gives in Kings and Queens of Britain, page 91, 16 December 1431 Notre Dame, Paris

Elizabeth Hallam in Plantagenet Encyclopedia says only 1432

The Oxford illustrated History of the British Monarchy,
1......page 310 Henry VI was crowned in 1431 in Notre Dame
but
2.....page 239 maintains he was crowned in Saint Denis _near Paris_ in 1431

And so we for date 16 December 1431----and just 1431------ and just 1432
As place Notre Dame, Paris and Saint Denis near Paris

Does anyone know when and where did it happen?

According to the Dictionary of National Biography (the old version) he
was crowned at Notre Dame in Paris on 16 December 1430 by Cardinal
Beaufort.  This was in opposition to the crowning of Charles VII at
Rheims on 17 July 1429.

ODNB states it took place on 16 December *1431*, and provides much
chronological detail about the lead-up: left England April 1430;
arrived at Rouen, July 1430; spent over a year there; went to Paris,
December and crowned at Notre Dame on the 16th.

_NCMH_concurs that Henry was crowned at Notre Dame in 1431:

"The propaganda coup acheived by by Charles VII's coronation required
an immediate riposte. In November 1429 Henry VI was crowned at
Westminster, and the following year, assisted by a double subsidy from
parliament, he led an expedition to France. In December 1431, after
much delay because of the precarious military situation, the ten-year-
old Henry VI was crowned king
of France at Notre Dame." -- Edward Powell, "Lancastrian England," in
_The New Cambridge Medieval History_, vol. 7 (New York, 2005),
p. 465.
