The play navigates the tumultuous events of the Wars of the Roses, focusing on the struggles for power between the Lancastrians and Yorkists, highlighting themes of loyalty, love, and the impact of war on personal lives. The narrative centers around key characters such as Queen Margaret, the Duke of Somerset, and Gondibert, a soldier loyal to the Lancastrian cause. Queen Margaret, along with her son Edward, faces the perils of war as they flee from an enemy attack led by the opposing House of York. In her pursuit to reunite with her husband, Margaret experiences both the physical dangers of battle and the emotional toll of her precarious situation. Alongside the royal family is Adeline, who disguises herself as a man to search for her husband and ultimately encounters Gondibert, creating a poignant subplot of love and valor amidst the chaos. As the story unfolds, the conflict culminates in a decisive battle that underscores the tragic futility of war and the profound personal costs associated with the power struggles of the time.
