England’s greatest warrior-king Henry V is gone, and on the throne… a baby.
In season 9 of This Is History: A Dynasty to Die For, acclaimed historian Dan Jones charts the turbulent story of Henry VI, an infant monarch whose reign is beset by relentless struggles for power both at home and abroad as we enter a brutal era of English civil war - the Wars of the Roses.
Scandal, madness and witchcraft form a backdrop to the young king’s troubles in England, while in France, Henry V’s hard-won legacy begins to crumble as Joan of Arc enters to rally the French fightback.
That’s all for you to discover on season 9 of This Is History — A Dynasty to Die For.
