Henry VI, Part 3: The Fall of the House of Lancaster
With the Wars of the Roses now thoroughly underway between King Henry VI, Queen Margaret, and the Duke of York, we get to witness England descend into a state of barbarism -- ruled by a king who wonders why we can\u2019t all just get along. Full of increasingly intense battle and betrayal, Henry VI, Part 3 brings the degradation of civil war to life -- and reveals Shakespeare\u2019s first fully fleshed out character in the Machivellian Richard, Duke of Gloucester -- and soon to be King Richard III. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, \u201cSaltarello\u201d (composed by anonymous); illustrative excerpts from: A Game of Thrones, Season 2, Episode 3, \u201cWhat is Dead May Never Die,\u201d dir.
