The Summary of King Henry VI Part 1
This drama is one of the
great history themed plays by William Shakespeare. The plot story starts
with the death of King Henry V and his young son takes the throne as
King Henry VI. Gloucester serves as Lord Protector to guide and advise
the young King through his early years. In France Joan of Arc leads
France in the fight against the English. A quarrel breaks out between
Richard Plantagenet, of the House of York, and the Earl of Somerset, of
the House of Lancaster. The young King intervenes and restores order
pledging his inheritance to the House of York. The king goes to Paris to
be crowned in order to motivate the English and demoralise the French.
The English capture Joan of Arc and Margaret of Anjou. Joan is burnt at
the stake as witch and a heretic. King Henry, urged by the Earl of
Suffolk, marries Margaret of Anjou. The play ends with a gloating
Suffolk believing that Margaret of Anjou will rule the monarch. Suffolk
believes will rule both of them giving power to the House of Lancaster.
