Fortune Shifts with the Awakening of a King

The dynamics of power in the kingdom shifted dramatically when King Henry awoke from a prolonged period of catatonia. York, who had managed to gain support from the nobility and maintain a semblance of order, found himself quickly stripped of his authority as Henry returned, albeit without memories of the preceding chaos. With Henry's revival, traditional power structures reinstated themselves, leading to York's allies being ousted and Somerset's resurgence as a dominant force in governance. This marked a rapid turnaround in the political landscape, emphasizing the fragility of power when dependent on individuals without a strong mandate.
