Part of the second half of Shakespeare’s Histories, The Queen’s Storm

In the wake of King Henry V’s death, the English court falls into a tense web of fragile alliances, with a young ruler caught in the midst. As the nobles squabble, the mysterious Joan of Arc awakens dormant French powers while an English soldier from a bygone era makes his final stand. Amidst it all, an unexpected new player emerges in the young French princess, Margaret of Anjou.
