English Hammered and Early Milled Coins
England, Henry VI, 1422 - 1461 and 1470 - 1471

|England|, |England,| |Henry| |VI,| |1422| |-| |1461| |and| |1470| |-| |1471||groat|NEW
Henry seems to have been a decent man, but completely unsuited to kingship. He was totally dominated by the power-hungry factions at court and powerless to stop the outbreak of bloody civil war. It was clearly too much for him to cope with, as his recurring mental illness from 1453 onwards showed. During the Wars of the Roses it was his queen, Margaret, who was the driving force behind the Lancastrian faction, while Henry was captured first by one side, then the other. Whoever had the king in their possession was able to claim to be ruling in his name.

In 1590, William Shakespeare wrote a trilogy of plays about the life of Henry VI: Henry VI, part 1, Henry VI, part 2, and Henry VI, part 3. Henry also appears as a ghost in Richard III.England, Henry VI, 1422 - 1461 and 1470 - 1471UK113217.

Great Britain, George IV, 29 January 1820 - 26 June 1830

|United| |Kingdom|, |Great| |Britain,| |George| |IV,| |29| |January| |1820| |-| |26| |June| |1830||farthing|
From 1811 until his accession, George IV served as regent during his father's mental illness. He forbade his wife from attending his coronation and unsuccessfully attempted to divorce her, which brought the contempt of the people. For most of George's regency and reign, Prime Minister Lord Liverpool controlled the government with little help from George. George's extravagant lifestyle and wasteful spending angered taxpayers at a time when Britain was fighting the Napoleonic Wars. He did not provide leadership in a time of crisis, nor did he act as a role model for his people. Liverpool led Britain's ultimate victory, negotiated the peace settlement, and attempted to deal with the social and economic malaise that followed. George IV was succeeded by his younger brother William.UK98541.

Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most efficient military powers in Europe. His reign saw vital developments in the evolution of the English parliament, the ravages of the Black Death and the beginning of the Hundred Years' War. He remained on the throne for 50 years.SH86743.

England, King Cnut, 1016 - 1035 A.D.

|England|, |England,| |King| |Cnut,| |1016| |-| |1035| |A.D.||penny|
Cnut the Great was a king of Denmark, England, Norway, and parts of Sweden. He maintained power by uniting Danes and Englishmen under cultural bonds of wealth and custom, rather than by brutality. After the death of his heirs within a decade of his own and the Norman conquest of England in 1066, his legacy was largely lost to history.WO67179.

England and Ireland, Edward I Longshanks, 20 November 1272 – 7 July 1307 (Lord of Ireland from 1254)

|Ireland|, |England| |and| |Ireland,| |Edward| |I| |Longshanks,| |20| |November| |1272| |–| |7| |July| |1307| |(Lord| |of| |Ireland| |from| |1254)||penny|
Edward I was a tall man for his era, at 6'2" (1.88 m), hence the nickname "Longshanks." In 1254 his father granted him most of Ireland. Edward was on the 9th crusade when the Mamluk sultan Baibars sent an assassin to kill him. Although Edward killed the assassin, he was struck in the arm by a dagger, perhaps poisoned, and became severely ill. He was in Sicily on his way home when his father died. Edward was proclaimed king after his father's death, rather than at his own coronation, as had until then been customary. Edward was ruthless in pursuing his aims and crushing those who opposed him. After rebellion in Wales, he built a series of castles and towns in the countryside and settled them with English. Edward attempted the conquest of Scotland and had some success but rebellion continued. After Philip IV of France (a Scottish ally) confiscated the Duchy of Gascony, Edward went to war with France. He recovered his duchy but the conflict relieved military pressure against Scotland. When the Edward I died, his son Edward II was left with an ongoing war with Scotland and many financial and political problems.ME98505.
