1	Henry VI, Part III [I, 1]	Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)	148	He rose against him, being his sovereign, And made him to resign his crown perforce.
2	Henry VI, Part III [I, 1]	Duke of Exeter	152	No; for he could not so resign his crown But that the next heir should succeed and reign.
3	Henry VI, Part III [I, 1]	Richard Plantagenet (Duke of Gloucester)	171	Henry of Lancaster, resign thy crown. What mutter you, or what conspire you, lords?
4	Henry VI, Part III [IV, 6]	Henry VI	2323	For what, lieutenant? for well using me? Nay, be thou sure I'll well requite thy kindness, For that it made my imprisonment a pleasure; Ay, such a pleasure as incaged birds Conceive when after many moody thoughts At last by notes of household harmony They quite forget their loss of liberty. But, Warwick, after God, thou set'st me free, And chiefly therefore I thank God and thee; He was the author, thou the instrument. Therefore, that I may conquer fortune's spite By living low, where fortune cannot hurt me, And that the people of this blessed land May not be punish'd with my thwarting stars, Warwick, although my head still wear the crown, I here resign my government to thee, For thou art fortunate in all thy deeds.
5	Henry VI, Part III [V, 5]	Prince Edward	2912	Speak like a subject, proud ambitious York! Suppose that I am now my father's mouth; Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, Whilst I propose the selfsame words to thee, Which traitor, thou wouldst have me answer to.
