Henry VI of England
Henry VI was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and claimant to the French throne from 1422 to 1453 under the terms of the Treaty of Troyes. He became king of England at the age of nine months, following the death of his father, Henry V, and inherited the French claim upon the death of his maternal grandfather, Charles VI of France.

Kingdoms are but cares; State is devoid of stay; Riches are ready snares, And hasten to decay. Pleasure is a privy prick Which vice doth still provoke; Pomp, unprompt; and fame, a flame; Power, a smold'ring smoke. Who meaneth to remove the rock Out of the slimy mud Shall mire himself, and hardly 'scape The swelling of the flood.
- Milestone
Career landmark: Lord of Ireland (1470–1471).
