A murdered saint or a dreadful ruler? an impressive re-assessment of the third Lancastrian king - Rated Henry VI is the youngest monarch ever to have ascended the English throne. He was the only English king to have been acknowledges by the French as rightfully King of France. His reign was the third longest since the Norman conquest. He came close to being declared a saint. Was he the unworldly, innocent, and saintly monarch as history seems to remember him or was he first of all an ineffectual ruler during whose rule his country descended into chaos? The Wars of the Roses began in full during Henry's reign. Where does the legend come from? In whose interest was legend? This masterly study, offering informative details, examines the entire span of the king's reign, from the death of Henry V in 1422, when Henry was only nine months old, to the period of his insanity at the beginning of the Wars of the Roses and his dethronement in 1461, preceding his murder ten years later. This is a classic re-assessment of the third Lancastrian king and its reading is for anyone interested in the history of fifteenth-century England an essential. It offers much food for thought. No easy reading, but gratifying and getting close to this elusive king and his time. A murdered saint or a dreadful ruler? Well, maybe he was both and maybe one could not be the first without being the second....
