KING HENRY VI 'KEY PLAYERS'
I'm not going to tell you yet about the incarnation of the very king, Henry VI, but of 5 of his, so to say, 'key players', whom he trusted and have great confidence.
John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford was brother to King Henry V, and acted as regent of France for his nephew, King Henry VI. In 1420 Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy [incarnation: Bryan Ferry] allied himself with Henry V of England under the Treaty of Troyes. In 1423 the marriage of Philip's sister Anne of Burgundy to John, Duke of Bedford, regent for Henry VI of England, strengthened the English alliance. His incarnation is actor Gene Wilder.
Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester was the fourth and youngest son of Henry IV and his first wife Mary de Bohun, the brother of Henry V, and the uncle of Henry VI. Upon the death of his brother in 1422, Humphrey became Lord Protector to his young nephew Henry VI. His incarnation is the actor Michael Caine.
Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick was a member of the royal council and in 1413 was Lord High Steward at the Prince's coronation as Henry V of England. The next year he helped put down the Lollard uprising, and then went to Normandy as Captain of Calais and represented England at the Council of Constance. His incarnation is the actor Gerard Depardieu.
John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury was a noted English military commander during the Hundred Years' War, as well as the only Lancastrian Constable of France. He was appointed in 1445 by Henry VI (as king of France) as Constable of France. Before that, he was also Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and Lord High Steward of Ireland. His nowadays incarnation is George W. Bush.
Henry Beaufort was the second of the four children of John of Gaunt and his mistress (later wife) Katherine Swynford, Beaufort was born in Anjou, an English domain in France. Henry IV in 1399,made Bishop Beaufort Lord Chancellor of England. Bishop Beaufort and the child king's other uncles formed the Regency Government of England 1422-1437, and in 1424, Beaufort became Chancellor once more. Pope Martin V finally appointed Beaufort as Cardinal in 1426. In 1427, he made him the Papal Legate for Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia, and directed him to lead the fourth "crusade" against the Hussites heretics in Bohemia. I think that incarnation of Cardinal Henry Beaufort is Cardinal Franjo Kuharić [i.e. Francis Cook], born in former Yugoslavia, and after 1990, the first Cardinal of new state, Croatia.
