| Summary |
Part One: "As the nation mourns the death of King Henry V, news reaches England of military setbacks in France. After the release of their General, Lord Talbot, the English reclaim lost ground, but the appearance of a mystic warrior-woman, Joan of arc, inspires the French. Meanwhile, at Henry's court, feuds be in between the lords of the white and the red roses ... Part Two: As Henry's marriage to Margaret cedes the last of his father's French gains, the presence of a weak king encourages dissent. Feuds rage between Gloucester and Beaufort and between York's faction and the other lords until York sets up Jack Cade to lead a popular revolt. Part Three: When defeat at St Albans forces Henry to cede succession to the House of York, an infuriated Quenn Margaret fights on, determined her son will be the next king. But with the Duke of York's death in battle, the future of the throne is once again thrown into question."--The box |
