The Third Part of Henry the Sixth

A young King Henry VI ascends to the throne following his father's passing, with the Duke of Gloucester providing a watchful eye, though the new monarch remains oblivious to the rival claims of Plantagenet of York, who also aim to seize the crown.

Henry VI, a young king, inherits the throne after his father's early death and the loss of possessions in France. Under the protection of the Duke of Gloucester, Henry is unaware of other claimants to the throne, including Plantagent of York and Somerset of Lancaster, whose factions will spark the Wars of the Roses.
