In 1437, Henry VI of Lancaster takes the English throne after years under a cautious regency. Known as “the Lamb,” he is defined less by martial strength than by his devout, gentle temperament—a stark contrast to his father’s legacy. His growing reliance on trusted advisors fuels quiet doubts within the court, where whispers of fragility begin to spread.
A covert truce with France, one that surrenders English lands in exchange for a royal marriage to Margaret of Anjou, ignites unrest across the realm. Sensing opportunity in the king’s perceived weakness, the rival House of York begins to maneuver, determined to unseat a monarch they deem unfit to rule.
With tensions rising and conflict looming, England stands on the brink. Hemmed in by enemies abroad and dissent at home, Henry and his allies must confront a pressing question: can the kingdom be steadied before it fractures beyond repair?
