Henry VI, Part 1

by William Shakespeare from c. 1591–92

About

Following the death of Henry V, the infant King Henry VI's reign begins amid English losses in France, where the young Joan of Arc leads French forces to a series of startling victories. At home, the rivalry between the Duke of Gloucester and the Bishop of Winchester foreshadows the civil strife that will consume the next two plays.
