That winter, even in London where gossip and information were rife, people knew little about the shadowy figure who was now claiming the crown as his by right. Arriving in Brittany, the Woodville exiles found a sallow young man, with dark hair curled in the shoulder-length fashion of the time and a penchant for expensively dyed black clothes, whose steady gaze was made more disconcerting by a cast in his left eye –such that while one eye looked at you, the other searched for you.He was, in the words of the Burgundian chronicler Jean Molinet, a ‘fine ornament’ of the Breton court, a man who worshipped Breton saints, spoke immaculate French and whose courtliness had a distinctly Gallic tinge. — The Winter King. #jonandhenriaresomuchalike, #henri7 #kitharingtonedit #kitharington #britishroyalfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JhYWUJeDv/?igshid=1c0vxsyqe5wpi
