This is the second half of a two-part series on the burial places of two kings, who were rivals in life, but who share a united burial place in death - St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. They are King Edward IV and King Henry VI. In this second part, I discuss the circumstances of the original burial of Henry VI at Chertsey, his exhumation thirteen years later and the opening of his vault in 1910, and what his human remains have to tell us about his burial. I go on to discuss the saintly cult that develops focused on him, pilgrimage to his tomb and attempts to exhume him once again in the 1490s and plans for his monument.
