King Henry VI, Part 2 by William Shakespeare
"King Henry VI, Part 2" by William Shakespeare is a history play written in 1591. It chronicles England's descent into chaos as weak King Henry VI struggles to control his feuding nobles. When the trusted Duke of Gloucester falls victim to conspiracy and murder, the ambitious Duke of York seizes his moment, revealing his claim to the throne. The kingdom fractures as rival factions align with Lancaster or York, leading to the
explosive First Battle of St Albans—the opening clash of the Wars of the Roses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
