He was never going to let his enemies depose him again. Losing his throne put all his family in danger and it wasn't going to happen again. He became far more ruthless from then on.
Henry was the only major Lancastrian ralky point left with the death if his son. He didnt doe coincidently a week later. Even at the time people realised hed probably been murdered.
What's sad is Henry VI was a good man who loved education, hated war and violence and was a godly man. Today he would be a fine King by anyone's standards. In those bloody times he was a target for violent and crudely ambitious men. A result of the precedent of legalizing the deposition of an anointed King.
He should be remembered better. He went into his spells after.being forced to witness violence usually or having violence perpetrated on him. I don't think anything at all was wrong with him. Alot was right.
