1This young prince being under the age of one year, after the death of his father,2 succeeded in his reign and kingdom of England, Anno 1422. and in the 8. year was crowned at Westminster: and the 2. year after was crowned also at Paris, Henry bishop of Winchester, Cardinal being present at them both,3 & reigned 38. years, and then was deposed by Edward the 4. as here after (Christ willing) shall be declared in his time.4 In the first year of his reign was burned the constant witness bearer and testis of Christs doctrine, William Tailor, a Priest under Henry Chichesley Archbishop of Canterbury.
