      Henry  VI, Part 3

      Believed to have been written in 1591, this history play deals with the horrors of the War of the Roses, as the once ordered nation is thrown into chaos and barbarism, with the breakdown of families and their moral codes in the pursuit of revenge and power.

      The play features the longest soliloquy in all of Shakespeare’s works (see Act Three, Scene II), and it has more battle scenes than any of the other plays.

      Shakespeare’s main source text for this play is available via this link.

      York.  While we pursu’d the horsemen of the north,

      He slily stole away and left his men:   5

      Whereat the great Lord of Northumberland,

      Whose warlike ears could never brook retreat,

      Cheer’d up the drooping army; and himself,

      Before I see thee seated in that throne

      Which now the house of Lancaster usurps,   25

      I vow by heaven these eyes shall never close.

      This is the palace of the fearful king,
