Henry VI, Part 3 or The Third Part of Henry the Sixt (often written
as 3 Henry VI) is a history play by William Shakespeare believed to
have been written in 1591, and set during the lifetime of King
Henry VI of England. Whereas 1 Henry VI deals with the loss of
England's French territories and the political machinations leading
up to the Wars of the Roses, and 2 Henry VI focuses on the King's
inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, and the
inevitability of armed conflict, 3 Henry VI deals primarily with
the horrors of that conflict, as the once ordered nation is thrown
into chaos and barbarism as families break down and moral codes are
subverted in the pursuit of revenge and power.Among Shakespeare's
history plays Henry VI Part 3 and Richard II contain the only
intances in which a living monarch is displaced. However, unlike
Richard who fell because of his misunderstanding of the limits of
his sovereignty, the demise of Henry was due to his total
incapacity to exercise his sovereign power. The inability of the
king to deal with the brutal realities of regal life is
dramatically displayed in Act 2 Scene 5 where Henry witnesses the
agonies of the father who has killed his son and the son who has
killed his father, and sadly acknowledges that this civil strife
has been caused by the King's ineptitude. The crowning indignity
comes in Act 3 Scene 1 where the king in hiding is easily detected
and trapped by two rustics who triumphantly prepare to lead him
before the man who has deposed him, Edward IV. Henry's death comes
at the hands of the brother of Edward, the vicious and rampantly
ambitious Richard, who later rises to the heights of supreme
tyranny in Richard III. After Henry's son and heir, Edward, is
murdered, also by the future Richard III, and Henry's most
influential supporter, the Earl of Warwick, dies, the House of
Lancaster lies in ruins.Henry VI, Part 3 features the longest
soliloquy in all of Shakespeare (3.2.124-195), and has more battle
scenes (four on stage, one reported) than any other of
Shakespeare's plays. (Summary from Wikipedia with addition by Algy
