Summary

"Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (3 of 6): England (3 of 9)" by Raphael Holinshed is a history book that tells about the early life of King Henry VI of England, who became king as a baby after his father died. The book probably describes the tough politics between England and France at that time. It talks about how England was ruled by other important people, like the Duke of Bedford and the Duke of Glocester, because Henry was too young to rule himself. The story shows the political tricks, war plans, and changing sides of people during that time, especially with the Dauphin Charles trying to take over the French throne during battles and chaos. The book sets the scene for a close look at the wars between England and France and the important people involved.
