Book Synopsis
In this biography of Henry VI, Bertram Wolffe challenges the traditional view of Henry VI as an unworldly, innocent and saintly monarch and offers instead a critical portrait of an ineffectual ruler. Drawing on contemporary evidence, he discusses the failures of Henry's long reign.

Trade Review
"A brilliant biography that brings us as near as we are ever likely to come to this elusive personality." Sunday Times "A powerful, compulsively readable portrait." Observer "Much learning, skillfully deployed as here, evokes pleasure as well as admiration." R.L. Storey, Times Literary Supplement"
