15. Henry 6. son of Henry 5. was crowned in the first 1year of his age with the Crowns of two Kingdoms, but that of France which his father won, was soon lost: and this of England was twice plucked from his head in his life time. Many bloody battles were fought in England betwixt the two great factions of York and Lancaster: wherein many thousand subjects perished. This King at length was taken and imprisoned, the Queen his wife exiled, his son and heir killed, his Counsellors slain, the Crown conferred on his corrival, in the 39. year of his reign, and he himself murdered in the 50. of his age.

16. Edward 4. being of the house of York, obtained the Crown with much blood, there being in one battle slain 136776 English men. There were civill wars almost all his reign. He was taken and imprisoned, whence escaping, he was forced to fly the land: but returning with much hazard to his person, and death of many subjects, recovered the Crown, but so as his children had little joy thereof. On a sudden after a sort he died, in the 23. year of his reign, and 41. of his age.
