Henry VI, Part 2 or The Second Part of Henry the Sixth (often written as 2 Henry VI) is a history play by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1591, and set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England.

In Part 2 the discord between prominent state officials, notably Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and Henry
