Details

Following the death of Henry V, celebrated for having united England and subjugated France, divisions appear at the highest levels - first between those around the infant Henry VI, later between the two great factions in English politics: the houses of Lancaster and York. Only the young Lord Talbot, locked in combat with the bewitching and enigmatic Joan of Arc, seems capable of redeeming a divided and dishonoured kingdom. Running time: approx. 2hrs
