In \u003cem\u003eThe Conscience of a King\u003c\/em\u003e, historian Malcolm Vale upends this perception. Drawing upon extensive primary archival evidence—including documents annotated in Henry’s own hand—Vale introduces a multidimensional sovereign possessing profound piety and an acute consciousness of his subjects' welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis fresh account examines Henry as a hands-on governor who revolutionized England’s European role, a patron of the arts, and a composer of music.
