Red rose or white rose? Lots! Henry VI, Part 1 covers lots of ground geographically and historically. The action takes place both in England and in France. The seeds for the War of the Roses are planted. Joan of Arc helps the French take back territory from the English - but is she helped by God or by demons? Finally, King Henry VI gets engaged for marriage - but to which woman? |
