Henry VI suffered from severe Catatonic Shiczophrenia. (Apologies for the spelling!) This was a mental illness that meant he was physically conscious, but he was not mentally aware of his surroundings - he could walk, talk or function like a normal person. He was able to eat when people put food into his mouth - a natural reaction. Furthermore, Henry VI was simply a weak person, disliking violence and nudity. Indeed, during one of the battles of the Wars of the Roses, he spent the whole time sitting under a tree and singing!
