Henry IV, Part II by William Shakespeare (best way to read e books .TXT) ๐
Description
As the dust settles on the battlefield at Shrewsbury, news spreads that the rebel forces fighting against King Henry IV have suffered a terrible defeat. Their leader, Harry โHotspurโ Percy, was killed by Prince Hal. The rebel troops quickly abandon the fight after seeing their leader die. Two powerful cohorts, the Earl of Worcester and Douglas, are taken as prisoners by the Kingโs men. The Earl of Northumberland vows to avenge his sonโs death and plans to seek support from the Archbishop of York.
Meanwhile, the Archbishop has convened his group of alliesโThomas Mowbray, Lord Hastings, and Lord Bardolphโto plan the next battle against King Henry. If they want a chance of winning, they fight on three separate fronts: one to fight King Henryโs forces, one to fight the Welsh rebels led by Owen Glendower, and one to maintain the fight in France. They decide to follow this plan regardless of whether or not Northumberland lends them his army.
As the Princeโs merry team of misfits return to London, Falstaff continues to create mischief wherever he goes. After hearing that his father has fallen sick, Hal starts to regret the days when he used to drink and steal with Falstaff. If he is to be the next king, he must leave behind his past along with his partners in crime.
This Standard Ebooks production is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wrightโs 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.
