HENRY VI of ENGLAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Henry VI was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422. The only child of Henry V, he succeeded to the English throne at the age of nine months upon his father's death, and succeeded to the French throne on the death of his grandfather Charles VI shortly afterwards. Henry inherited the long-running Hundred Years War , where Charles VII contested his claim to the French throne. Henry married Charles's niece, Margaret of Anjou, partially in the hope of achieving peace in 1445,, but the policy failed, leading to the murder of William de la Pole, one of Henry's key advisors. The war recommenced, with France taking the upper hand; by 1453, Calais was Henry's only remaining territory on the continent. Henry experienced a mental breakdown after the loss of Bordeaux, with Richard, Duke of York taking control of the government as regent until his recovery the following year. Civil war broke out in 1459, leading to a long period of dyn...

UK: BRITAIN'S PRINCE WILLIAM TO ATTEND ETON SCHOOL
English/Nat
Britain's future king starts at his new school on Wednesday.
Prince William will be brought to Eton - Britain's most exclusive school - by his parents Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Fees run to around 20-thousand US dollars per year at the top school, which was set up in 1440 by one of William's forefathers, King Henry VI.
Set within sight of his grandmother the Queen's house at Windsor, Prince William will be amongst his own kind at Britain's most exclusive school.
Eton's history stretches back to the year 1440 when King Henry the VI founded it to provide a free education for scholars.
While it's still free for some, most have to come up with around 20-thousand US dollars a year.
The prince, who will be known simply as William, will live in Manor House, across a busy road from the classrooms.
Tradition is still the order of the day at Eton.
While junior boys no longer have to 'fag', which means acting as servants for older boys, they still have to wear the distinctive uniform.
The Royal Family has asked reporters to leave the prince alone.
But while Eton pupils have been ordered to stay away from the press, one man who has already sold stories about the prince's school days says it is impossible to keep the media away.
SOUNDBITE:
The problem is how do you find out whether someone has talked to the press or not, with 1,300 boys with public telephones the length and breadth of Eton High Street. Short of bugging the phones there's very little the school can do.
SUPER CAPTION: Rupert Steiner - Man who sold stories about Prince William to newspapers
But former British Foreign Secretary and Eton pupil Douglas Hurd says Eton is the ideal place for a future monarch.
SOUNDBITE:
The idea that Eton is just a place for Toffs is absurd nowadays. I'm a fellow there I go there often, I had three sons there, is just absurd. It's all kinds of people and they won't treat him with any particular deference. He'll be treated as he expects to be treated as a boy.
SUPER CAPTION: The Right Honourable Douglas Hurd MP - Former Eton pupil
The 13-year-old prince has been taking part in numerous public engagements this summer.
He attended ceremonies to mark the ending of the Second World War and the 95th birthday of his great grandmother, the Queen Mother.
And while Britain's tabloid press has been warned to keep away from the young prince, he is now embarking on five years of very public education.

Eton is a town and civil parish in the ceremonial county of Berkshire, but within the historic boundaries of Buckinghamshire, lying on the opposite bank of the River Thames to Windsor and connected to it by Windsor Bridge. The parish also includes the large village of Eton Wick, two miles west of the town, and has a population of 4,980, reducing to 4,692 at the 2011 Census. Since 1998 it has been part of the unitary authority of Windsor and Maidenhead. The town is best known as the location of Eton College, a famous public school.
The land that is now Eton once belonged to the manor of Queen Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor. The land was appropriated by the Normans after 1066. The main road between Windsor and London went through the area and a hamlet sprang up amid pasture meadows to maintain the road and the bridge.
In 1440, Henry VI chose Eton as the location for his new college, Eton College. Workmen were moved into Eton to build the college. All of the land immediately around the hamlet was granted to the college, which stopped further growth. The new college chapel made the village a pilgrimage point, and inns were set up along the high street. Henry VI gave the college the right to hold fairs on its grounds.
During the English Civil War, after Windsor Castle was captured by parliamentarian forces, the Royalist army moved into Eton and attempted to retake the town, occupying the college. Efforts to retake Windsor were unsuccessful and the royalists eventually fled.
The college sometimes leased small plots of land to the village as an act of charity, leading to the construction of houses near the bridge. Scholars at the college also used to collect salt (money) from the inns of Eton High Street. This practice continued until 1845 when a scholar refused to associate with the inns because they were a temptation to Eton students. Eton was favourably modernised and was the first village in the UK to have its own post office and modern drainage system.
Eton is served by two bus companies. First operates daily buses on the Heathrow Airport (Terminal 5) – Datchet – Slough – Eton – Eton Wick route (bus 60/61). Redline Buses operates the Slough – Eton – Eton Wick – Dorney – Maidenhead route on Tuesdays and Fridays (bus 63/68).
Eighty metres southeast of the town's historic pedestrian and cycle bridge is Windsor and Eton Riverside railway station. The town's other station, Windsor and Eton Central railway station, is 200 m to the southwest. The destinations are London Waterloo and London Paddington respectively. The Central Station offers the change-at-Slough service to London, taking between 41 and 56 minutes, compared to a no-change-required 56–78 minutes for the Riverside Station.

Windsor the location of Windsor Castle and a town next to the River Thames. Its close neighbouring town, Eton, is home to the famous Eton College; where both Prince William and Prince Harry have attended along with countless politicians and Prime Ministers. Both in the county of Berkshire.
Windlesora is first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. (The settlement had an earlier name but this is unknown.) The name originates from old English Windles-ore or winch by the riverside.[3][4][5] By 1110, meetings of the Great Council, which had previously taken place at Windlesora, were noted as taking place at the Castle – referred to as New Windsor, probably to indicate that it was a two ward castle/borough complex, similar to other early castle designs, such as Denbigh. By the late 12th century the settlement at Windelsora was renamed Old Windsor.
The name Eton derives from Old English Ēa-tūn, = River-Town, i.e. Town on the River Thames.
The land that is now Eton once belonged to the manor of Queen Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor. The land was appropriated by the Normans after 1066. The main road between Windsor and London went through the area and a hamlet sprang up amid pasture meadows to maintain the road and the bridge.
In 1440, Henry VI chose Eton as the location for his new college, Eton College. Workmen were moved into Eton to build the college. All of the land immediately around the hamlet was granted to the college, which stopped further growth. The new college chapel made the village a pilgrimage point, and inns were set up along the high street. Henry VI gave the college the right to hold fairs on its grounds.[3]

The college sometimes leased small plots of land to the village as an act of charity, leading to the construction of houses near the bridge. Scholars at the college also used to collect salt (money) from the inns of Eton High Street.[5] This practice continued until 1845 when a scholar refused to associate with the inns because they were a temptation to Eton students.[3] Eton was favourably[clarification needed] modernised and was the first village in the UK to have its own post office and modern drainage system.[6]
Henry VI of England
Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453. Until 1437, his realm was governed by regents. Contemporaneous accounts described him as peaceful and pious, not suited for the dynastic wars, such as the Wars of the Roses, which commenced during his reign. His periods of insanity and his inherent benevolence eventually required his wife, Margaret of Anjou, to assume control of his kingdom, which contributed to his own downfall, the collapse of the House of Lancaster, and the rise of the House of York.

Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester | Transformation From 1 To 61 Years Old
Prince Henry was the first son of a British monarch to be educated at school, where he excelled at sports, and went on to attend Eton College, after which he was commissioned in the 10th Royal Hussars, a regiment he hoped to command. But his military career was interrupted by royal duties, and he was nicknamed the unknown soldier. While big-game shooting in Kenya, he met the future aviator Beryl Markham, with whom he became romantically involved. The court put pressure on him to end the relationship, but had to pay regular hush-money to avert a public scandal. In 1935, also under parental pressure, he married Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott, with whom he had two sons, Princes William and Richard.
In 1939–40, he served in France as a liaison officer, and was later appointed Governor-General of Australia in place of his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, who had died in an air crash. He attended the coronation of his niece Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and carried out several overseas tours, often accompanied by his wife. From 1965, he became incapacitated by a number of strokes, and was not officially[clarification needed] told of the death of his elder son while piloting his own plane in 1972. His widow became the longest-lived member of the British royal family in history. Upon his death, he was succeeded as the Duke of Gloucester by his only living son, Richard.
---------------------
Prince Henry was born on 31 March 1900, at York Cottage, on the Sandringham Estate during the reign of his great-grandmother Queen Victoria.[1] His father was the Duke of York (later King George V), the eldest surviving son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra).[1] His mother was the Duchess of York (later Queen Mary), the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck.[1] At the time of his birth, he was fifth in the line of succession to the throne, behind his grandfather, father and two elder brothers.
He was baptised at the private chapel of Windsor Castle on 17 May 1900, by Randall Thomas Davidson, Bishop of Winchester, and his godparents were: Queen Victoria (his great-grandmother); the German Emperor (his cousin, for whom Prince Albert of Prussia stood proxy); Princess Henry of Battenberg (his paternal great-aunt); the Duchess of Cumberland (his paternal great-aunt, whose sister, his grandmother the Princess of Wales represented her); Prince George of Greece (his cousin, for whom Prince Henry's paternal grandfather the Prince of Wales stood proxy); Princess Carl of Denmark (his paternal aunt, for whom her sister Princess Victoria of Wales stood proxy); Prince Alexander of Teck (his maternal uncle, for whom Prince Henry's great-uncle the Duke of Cambridge stood proxy); and Field Marshal The Earl Roberts (for whom General Sir Dighton Probyn stood proxy).[2] He was informally known to his family as Harry.
------------------
As a young boy, Prince Henry suffered from ill health very much like his older brother Albert. He also had knocked knees, and had to wear painful leg splints. He was an extremely nervous child, and was often victim to spontaneous fits of crying or giggling, and also like his brother, Henry had a combination of speech disorders.[4] They both had rhotacism, which prevented them from pronouncing the sound r, but while Albert's pronunciation was slightly reminiscent of the French r, Henry was completely unable to pronounce it, causing the intended r to sound like [w]. On top of this, Henry also had a nasal lisp and an unusually high-pitched tone, resulting in a very distinctive voice.[5]
By 1909, Henry's poor health had become a serious concern for his parents. He was very small for his age and was prone to get very aggressive colds. You must remember that he is rather fragile and must be treated differently to his two elder brothers who are more robust, wrote Prince George to Henry's tutor, Henry Peter Hansell.

How to get into Eton
Eton College was founded by King Henry VI in 1440 with the specific purpose of educating 70 poor scholars.
These days you don’t need to be poor to go to Eton. In fact, with the annual fees of £37,000, one has to be rather rich to go there. There are a number of options reducing those fees or having to pay nothing at all to study there. We will talk about it in more detail in out next video. So money actually isn’t the only factor, if a factor at all, in getting into Eton!

How The Town Of Eton Shaped Prince Harry For Life | TODAY
King's College Chapel, Cambridgeplanned a university counterpart to Eton College
Henry VI planned a university counterpart to Eton College (whose chapel is very similar, although unfinished), the chapel being the only portion that was built. The King decided the dimensions of the Chapel. The architect of the chapel is disputed. Reginald Ely, who was commissioned in 1444 as the head press mason, was a possible architect of the chapel. However, Nicholas Close (or Cloos), was recorded as being the surveyor, which has been generally accepted to be synonymous with architect.[4] The first stone of the Chapel was laid, by Henry himself, on St James' Day, 25 July 1446, the College having been begun in 1441. By the end of the reign of Richard III (1485), despite the Wars of the Roses, five bays had been completed and a timber roof erected. Henry VII visited in 1506, paying for the work to resume and even leaving money so that the work could continue after his death. In 1515, under Henry VIII, the building was complete but the
