Sources
A lot of the information in these trees were taken from the plays themselves. But the trees also include a lot of historical information, and for that, I used other sources.
I took advantage of the excellent genealogical tables in The Riverside Shakespeare (G. Blakemore Evans, ed.) as well as the Arden editions of King Henry V (T.W. Craik, ed.) and King Henry VI, Part Three (John D. Cox and Eric Rasmussen, eds.).
I found The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare's History Plays (Michael Hattaway, ed.) very helpful. I also consulted the official website of the British Monarchy, as well as other online sources as needed.
The website design is by me (Bill Heller). In order to maintain cohesion with my blog, I used elements from the WordPress stylesheet that I've been using for the past ten years. That stylesheet is called Jakarta, and it was created by Jose Mulia.
