Henry VI, Part I

A drama by William Shakespeare

King Henry V has suddenly died, and the kingdom is in chaos. In England, noblemen are fighting amongst themselves. Loyalties are divided into two factions: the White Roses (York) and the Red Roses (Lancaster). The Duke of Gloucester, Henry VI's Protector, is accused by Cardinal Beaufort of seizing the throne for himself.Meanwhile in France, the Dauphin Charles has been crowned the new king. English-held land once conquered by Henry V is quickly being recaptured by French forces. In one of these battles, the English hero Talbot is imprisoned. A French woman named Joan la Pucelle-also known as Joan of Arc-has been having visions that reveal to her how to defeat the English Army.The only thing that unifies the two countries is their pessimism towards the new English monarch. It is now Henry VI's turn to rule over England, or die trying.King Henry V has suddenly died, and the kingdom is in chaos. In England, noblemen are fighting amongst themselves.
