Hi,
I can't remeber that much about Henry VI, but he was the son of Henry V. Henry V died early so Henry VI came to the throne as a boy. He was a weak king and during his time all the french conquests were lost, except for Calais. Because of this and his weakness, the English kingdom was destabilised which eventually led to Civil War, now known as the War of the Roses. I am not sure, but, I believe he was murdered.
If you look up Wikipedia and look under War of the Roses, that should be a good introduction
Best of Luck

Henry VI was not the king his father, Henry V was. I suggest you see wikipedia's page on Henry VI of England.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.
