Abstract
Henry VI, Part 2 continues the decline of royal authority as factional rivalry and civil unrest spread across England. Weak leadership by King Henry VI allows ambitious nobles to compete for power, sparking rebellion and the early stages of the Wars of the Roses. The play explores political instability, ambition, and the collapse of order.
