| - Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471), of the House of Lancaster, was King of England 1422–1461 (though with a Regent until 1437) and a claimant to the kingdom of France 1422–1453. Crowned while an infant, Henry's reign was chaotic, owing in part to his passive temperment and his growing insanity. His rule ended with his overthrow by the House of York. He himself was imprisoned in the Tower of London for a time before he was quietly murdered.
- Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453. Until 1437, his realm was governed by regents. Contemporaneous accounts described him as peaceful and pious, not suited for the dynastic wars, such as the Wars of the Roses, which commenced during his reign. His periods of insanity and his inherent benevolence eventually required his wife, Margaret of Anjou, to assume control of his kingdom, which contributed to his own downfall, the collapse of the House of Lancaster, and the rise of the House of York.
