The reign of Henry VI, marked by his inadequacy as a king, led to the tumultuous Wars of the Roses yet persisted for thirty-nine years. This analysis shifts focus from individual political interests to the common and public connections that shaped his rule. It emphasizes the struggle to establish royal authority, portraying the nobility not merely as rebellious figures but as committed servants of the state, ultimately revealing the complexities of governance during a turbulent period in English history.
