The work focuses on the tumultuous events surrounding the reign of King Henry VI of England, primarily exploring the conflict between the Houses of York and Lancaster during the Wars of the Roses. The main characters include Henry VI, the Duke of Gloucester, and the intriguing figure of Joan of Arc, also known as Jeanne la Pucelle, who influences the course of the battle for France. At the start of the play, we witness a mournful atmosphere as the characters gather to pay tribute to the recently deceased King Henry V. His funeral brings forth lamentation from key nobles, including the Dukes of Bedford, Gloucester, and Exeter, who express their fears for the future without his leadership. The arrival of messengers with news of military losses in France stirs anxiety and debates among the nobles about their next moves. The French are emboldened, prompting a sense of urgency among the English lords to rally their forces in response to the growing threat, thus setting the stage for the unfolding conflict and the entrance of Joan of Arc, who promises a change in fortune for her countrymen.
