Summary, etc: The sequence of plays that begins with Richard II and concludes with Henry V is usually called the second tetralogy. This is to distinguish it from the earlier four-play sequence, the three-part Henry VI and Richard III, written at the outset of Shakespeare's career in the very early 1590s.
