HENRY VI.
Henry VI. was crowned at Westminster, Nov. Gth, 1429, being then only in the ninth year of his age. The coronation feast was celebrated at Westminster with great splendour. In the first course, Febian tells us, there were, among other royal viands, Bore hedes in castellys of gold and enarmed," "Custard royall, with a lyopard of golde syttyng therein, and holding a floure de lyce." The pageant for this course was, " A sotyltie of Seynt Edwarde and Seynt Lowys armed, and upon eyther his cote armoure, holdyng atwene them a figure lyke unto Kynge Henry, standynge also in his cote armoure, and a scripture passynge from them both, sayinge,— ' Beholde II perf yght kynges under one cote armoure.'"
