{"product_id":"the-shadow-king-the-life-and-death-of-henry-vi","title":"The Shadow King: The Life and Death of Henry VI","description":"A thrilling new account of the tragic story and troubled times of Henry VI, who inherited the crowns of both England and France and lost both.\n\nFirstborn son of a warrior father who defeated the French at Agincourt, Henry VI of the House of 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.\n\nAnd yet, by the time he died 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.\n\nHenry VI is perhaps the most troubled of English monarchs, a pious, gentle, well-intentioned man who was plagued by bouts of mental illness. In The Shadow King, Lauren Johnson tells his remarkable and sometimes shocking story in a fast-paced and colorful narrative that captures both the poignancy of Henry’s life and the tumultuous and bloody nature of the times in which he lived.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1643131281\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1643131281.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Johnson, Lauren\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
