I had never thought of that, but it is of course true.

I knew one was a King of France and I thought it would therefore be 1415 Henry V and Charles VI, although he was never at Agincourt.....

However at Poitiers 1356, King John II of France was captured, and died in London around 1364. The other king might have been David II of Scotland. The fourth could not have been John of Bohemia because he was blind and actually killed at Poitiers. He had his companions lead him into battle by the stirrup and they were all so worried that they tied their bridles to his, and all died together. Peak of chivalry apparently but seems like insanity to us.

So I havent found the answer but I have had fun finding out. Thanks for the suggestion.
