Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!

On the 6th December 1421 a baby boy is born in Windsor Castle…his parents are Catherine of Valois and Henry V ..this boy would be a crowned king of England as well a crowned king of France, the only one to ever achieve this honour. Sadly, he would come to lose both his crowns and his life.

Henry VI, as he became, is often blamed to be the cause of the Wars of the Roses that rattled England in the middle of the 15th century.

The historian Lauren Johnson takes a more sympathetic approach.

Let’s talk to her about her book on Henry, called The Shadow King;

published by Head of Zeus (UK) and Pegasus (USA).
