I like to think my son Henry is named after this good king rather than the later infamous Henry!

Saintly King Henry VI, by the late Ursula Putnam
When we were in Truro for Easter weekend - at my mother's house, I had a look through my late grandmother's writings - she wrote for various Catholic publications. I found an interesting article she wrote in 1969 about King Henry VI, of whom she was very fond. I am sure she won't mind me publishing it on my blog. It was originally in The Ransomer - illustration below.

I wonder if she was a member of the now defunct Henry VI society, which campaigned for his cause of beatification ? They published quite a lot and sent out Prayer cards. Monsignor Ronald Knox and Shane Leslie compiled a book of the ancient miracles of Henry VI.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she was. She had great devotion to this king and was writing a biography of him.
