Adaptaciones de obras de Shakespeare: Ricardo II, Enrique IV: Parte 1 y 2, y Enrique V.

The incompetent Richard II is deposed by Henry Bolingbroke and undergoes a crisis of identity once he is no longer king.

In 1403, King Henry IV faces uprisings from Wales and Northumberland. His son, Prince Hal, known for his wild lifestyle with Sir John Falstaff, must face responsibility and help his father address the threats to the throne.

Northumberland seeks revenge against King Henry IV. Prince Hal must prepare for a new role, while Falstaff is tasked with recruiting an army. Hal faces the challenges of leadership and distancing himself from his past.

King Henry V embraces his role as a responsible monarch. Upon learning of his claim to the French throne, he prepares an expeditionary force to assert his right and claim France.

Following his father's early death and the loss of possessions in France young Henry VI comes to the throne, under the protection of the duke of Gloucester. He is unaware that there are other claimants to the throne, Plantagent of York and Somerset of Lancaster, whose factions will ultimately cause the Wars of the Roses. Ignorant of the schisms Henry tries to unite them in the Hundred Years War, capturing Joan of Arc, before he marries Margaret of Anjou to unite England and France, but there is no dowry, angering the court. Margaret finds the pious Henry a dull husband and embarks upon an affair with Somerset as well as crossing Gloucester's wife Eleanor. When Gloucester is arrested for alleged treason because of Eleanor Henry is too feeble to prevent his death or the country slipping into civil war.

Five years on the country is in the midst of civil war with Suffolk and Buckingham among the casualties at the battle of St Albans and the triumphant Plantagenet claiming the throne for the Yorkists. To avoid further bloodshed Henry agrees to make Plantagenrt his heir on his death, angering queen Margaret, who shocks her husband with a violent counter action. However the Yorkists triumph with Edward IV crowned king. Henry, descending into madness, is imprisoned in the Tower of London whilst Margaret and her son seek sanctuary in France. Yet Edward is not without his opponents, led by Margaret, whom he routs at the battle of Tewkesbury, aided by his brothers George, Duke of Clarence and Richard of Gloucester, a victory which will seal Henry's fate since Richard has ambitions of his own.

Evil Richard plots his path to rule and layers that path with bodies of friend and foe alike.
