About this book
Henry the Sixth is a reprint of a memoir, with translation and notes by M. R. James. The contents list includes a preface, the text, a translation, notes and special notes, among them A Prayer to Henry VI in English Verse and On the Manuscript Miracles of Henry VI. The preface says that the tract on the Personality of King Henry VI, which is here reprinted, has hitherto been almost inaccessible to ordinary students.
The preface also says that the tract is not known to exist at all in manuscript. A section headed His chastity says that this king Henry was chaste and pure from the beginning of his days, and that he eschewed all licentiousness in word or deed while he was young. The text says that Lady Margaret, daughter of the King of Sicily, was espoused by this king Henry, who begat by her but one only son, the most noble and virtuous prince Edward.
