The Pageant of English History by William Shakespeare.
A second showing of 10: The Fall of a Protector
After Henry V's death, his French conquests were soon lost. His brothers, Bedford and Gloucester, were appointed Protectors of the baby Henry VI. The leaderless nobles revived their old quarrels, siding with Lancaster or York and choosing red or white roses as their emblems. In France, Joan of Arc defeated the English but was captured and burned as a witch. After the conclusion of a shoddy peace, Suffolk arranged the King's marriage to Margaret of Anjou, intending to become her lover and so rule England.
