Note 1 — The Foundation
Reading edition
Henry was born at Windsor in the year 1421. When Henry V was informed that Catherine had borne him an heir he asked: Where was the boy born? At Windsor was the reply. Turning to his Chamberlain, he gave voice to the following prophetic utterance:
"I Henry born at Monmouth, Shall small time reign, and much get; But Henry of Windsor shall long reign and loose all. But as God will, so be it."
