The wooing scene - Part 1

The body of Henry VI is being taken for burial accompanied by Lady Ann, his daughter-in-law. Ann stops the progress to lament the "untimely death of virtuous Lancaster" only to be rudely interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, a man with love rather than death on his mind.
