Eton Established: A History from 1440 to 1860

By Tim Card

Drawing on material on the reign of Henry VI, Tim Card - author of Eton Renewed, a history of Eton from 1860-1990 - offers a different view of the foundation from previous histories. King Henry VI intended Eton to be a glorious religious foundation, but after the disasters of his reign and the troubled period of the English Reformation, Eton, by the time of Elizabeth I, had become essentially a school.
