Henry VI and the Politics of Kingship by John Watts
Henry VI (142261) was one of the most spectacularly inadequate kings of England, and his reign dissolved into the conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. In explaining the nature of Henry's inadequacy, this 1996 book lays the emphasis on the political system, and thus offers the first truly structured narrative of the reign.
'… the most original study of the reign of Henry VI to have appeared for a long time, striking out for a fresh interpretation of its troubles … This is an important book, incorporating highly intelligent historical thinking which promises to throw new light on other English reigns besides that of Henry VI' M. H. Keen, Nottingham Medieval Studies
'… historians will find in this well-written and stimulating book an essential guide to the politics of Henry VI's court.' Simon Walker, The Times Literary Supplement
