Excerpt from The Royal Manor of Richmond: With Petersham, Ham and Kew During the long minority of Henry VI. Nearly all that his gallant father had gained by his brilliant feats of arms and astute statesmanship was lost, and but for an occasional visit from the boy king the Palace at Sheen was once more deserted In 1441, however, the Court was in residence there for some weeks, as proved by various documents dated from it, including a warrant to certain sheriffs to give every attention to His Majesty's aunt, Eleanor Duchess of Gloucester, during her progress through the counties under their care, and in 1445 great rejoicings took place at Sheen in honour of the marriage of Henry VI. To Margaret of Anjou.
