Born in Windsor Castle in December 1421, Henry VI acceded to the throne when he was just nine months old! During his childhood the war of the Roses broke out. He survived to reign for almost forty years even though he was a mild and weak monarch.  He was murdered in the Tower of London on the orders of Edward IV.

These silver portrait groats (aka Fourpence) struck during his reign and have become an important coin in this series.
