Henry VI, Part 2

by William Shakespeare from c. 1591–92

About

The weak King Henry VI's marriage to the ambitious Margaret of Anjou strengthens the faction working against the good Duke Humphrey, who is murdered by his enemies. Jack Cade's populist rebellion and the growing power of Richard, Duke of York, push England toward the Wars of the Roses.
