King Henry VI, Part Three by William Shakespeare focuses on the horrors of conflict and the chaos it brings to the nation. Henry VI agrees that his claim to the throne is weak and gives the throne to York on the conditions that he will remain king for the rest of his life and that the War of Roses will come to an end.
