Henry Vi, Part Two by William Shakespeare
The play follows England’s descent into chaos under a weak monarch as corrupt courtiers and rival nobles bicker for power, a popular uprising led by Jack Cade exposes widespread grievance and lawlessness, the powerful Duke of Gloucester is disgraced and dies amid ruthless courtly machinations, and the ambitions and rivalries among leading magnates, especially the Duke of York, lay the groundwork for open civil war.
