The largest work of William Shakespeare was written in three parts, with the poet first writing the Second Part (1590), then the Third Part (1591), and finally the First Part (1592).
The historical material is drawn by Shakespeare from Holinshed's Chronicles (1587). The story of King Henry VI unfolds alongside a historical event of immense importance to England: the conflict between two of the oldest houses, Lancaster and York.
A simple quarrel in the courtyard of the London law school between representatives of the two houses led them to wear a white or a red rose on their hats, respectively, and the situation escalated into a civil strife, the famous 'War of the Roses,' which plagued England for decades.
