Five Kings

In the section called the central tower there are stone statues of ten English kings beginning with William the Conquerer. These five are fifteen century kings: Henry IV (Lancaster, 1399-1413), Henry V (Lancaster, 1413-1422), Henry VI (Lancaster, 1422-1461), Edward IV (York, 1461-1470), Henry VI (York, 1470-1471). Think Wars of the Roses and the time period of Meisha's research. We know that the previous King, Richard II, witnessed the play cycle in 1396.
