Story
Firstborn son of a warrior father who defeated the French at Agincourt, Henry VI of the House Lancaster inherited the crown not only of England but also of France, at a time when Plantagenet dominance over the Valois dynasty was at its glorious height. And yet, by the time he was done to death in the Tower of London in 1471, France was lost, his throne had been seized by his rival, Edward IV of the House of York, and his kingdom had descended into the violent chaos of the Wars of the Roses.

I really enjoyed this book (my first by this author). It followed Henry VI from his birth to his death and thoroughly covered the events in between.
The narrator was great. She has a very clear and pleasant voice which I always appreciate in my audiobooks. There were moments where she seemed to put emphasis and excitement where it didn’t belong, but it wasn’t too distracting.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
