Henry VI - Part 1
Season 1 Episode 18
Willy Willy Harry Stee, Harry Dick John Harry Three, One Two Three Neds, Richard Two, Henry's Four Five Six.........
The story of Henry VI is a tangled one, intertwined with Edward IV and, not something to be rushed. So over the next two episodes, Charlie Higson unpicks the story of a man who became king, then was deposed only to become king again, only to be deposed.....again!
It's a fascinating story which takes in a couple of wars, one civil and one against the French and even Joan of Arc makes an appearance.
Helping Charlie make sense of all this is the excellent Helen Castor, author of Joan Of Arc and Blood & Roses
