Hail, fellow Yorkist! Though I must say I was always a bit sorry for Henry VI. It wasn't his fault he inherited Granddad's mental illness, after all. Still, even for his sane period, you could say the same applies which a chronicler said about King Stephen centuries earlier "he was a kind man, and did no justice". So, disaster as a King all around. As for his family members... shudder.

I think it was that social mobility which ensured not just the French revolution but the Napoleonic aftermath got such a solidly bad press in English novels...
