Henry the Sixth is the most tragic figure on the English throne — in the new historical book by Alexandra Marinina.Eight months old, he took his father's throne. At the age of nine, he was crowned with the French crown. It seemed that William the Conqueror's golden dream of a "single and indivisible" Anglo-French monarchy had come true. But it didn't work out... Henry the Sixth lost, he lost everything! Lost the Hundred Years’ War to Jeanne D'Ark and her Orleanians. Fratricidal slaughter of Scarlet and White Roses was not prevented. He was in a schizophrenic stupor for months. Evil tongues whispered that his wife, the beautiful Margaret of Anjou, was unfaithful. Power was slipping out of his hands, and he dreamed of the idyllic life of a shepherd and a poet. At the age of 49, the last of the Lancaster dynasty was an eyewitness to the murder of his only son Edward and he himself died in captivity. Is it any wonder that the creator of Prince Hamlet dedicated his most voluminous play to Henry the Sixth!Having invited Shakespeare himself as the main witness, Alexandra Marinina ironically and psychologically convincingly tells the story of the unfortunate king and his madcap contemporaries. With her light hand, the legends of the deep antiquity turned out to be as fascinating as a detective story, and as elegant and light as a musical miniature."So, friends, what's going on here? 1422, England..."
