Default Marcory - may be spelt wrong!

Is this the same as Good King Henry....sounds like it anyway.
Cut off its flowers to encourage leaves.

An old person told me about a vegetable she used to eat in her youth.
It was called "marcory" but she didn't know how to spell it.
Does anyone know what it is?
She said it was leaves like nettles.

Often spelt a Markery, I have some growing in my garden at the moment,
got it from my dads garden after he died and we sold the place.

Arrow shaped leaves, best picked and eaten young, treat as spinach.
