A history play by Creator/WilliamShakespeare, Creator/WilliamShakespeare and Creator/ChristopherMarlowe, where Shakespeare is believed to have written the majority of Part 3, ''Henry VI Part 3'' is the last of three plays describing the end of UsefulNotes/TheHundredYearsWar and the outbreak of the UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses. In the final chapter of the trilogy, the houses of Lancaster and York wage bloody war against each other until one is victorious. The play also sets up conflicts and characters for ''Theatre/RichardIII''.
Added DiffLines:
* LoveAtFirstSight: Elizabeth Woodville petitions Edward to have the lands of her late husband returned to her. He immediately starts flirting and tries to make "sleep with me" a condition of returning the lands, but when she continues to evade and resist his propositions, he makes the ultimate one by suggesting she might like all of ''his'' land instead of her husband's--in other words, by becoming his Queen. Keep in mind that he's only known her for about fifteen minutes, ''and'' he knows a political marriage is already being negotiated for him.
* LoveRuinsTheRealm: Edward's impulsive decision to follow his lust into marrying Elizabeth keeps England from regaining its lost French lands, enrages the French into declaring war (as he'd snubbed the King's own sister), and enrages Warwick into throwing his lot in with the Lancasters--although the Yorkists ultimately win, Edward's choice causes a great deal of bloodshed that could have been avoided if he'd just let Liz have her lands back like she wanted in the first place.

As the trilogy ends, things are looking rosy for the House of York -- the Lancastrian cause seems dead and gone, and there is a new heir to the throne -- young Edward. As Richard of Gloucester, the King's brother, summarises it at the start of the next play -- "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York". That's right, folks -- he's going to become Theatre/RichardIII very soon and we all know how that turned out...
