Henry VI of England

King of England (1422–1461, 1470–1471)

Henry VI of England

Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) 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. Henry VI's claim to the French throne was increasingly challenged during the later stages of the Hundred Years' War, and by 1453 English authority there had collapsed entirely.
