THE STORY OF THE PLANTAGENET KING WHO AT FOURTEEN FACED DOWN THE RINGLEADERS OF THE PEASANTS' REVOLT AND WHO WAS PROBABLY MURDERED BY HENRY IV IN A USURPATION THAT LAUNCHED THE LANCASTRIAN ROYAL DYNASTY.
Richard II was one of the most important and controversial of the medieval English kings. Son of Edward the Black Prince and grandson of Edward III, Richard became King of England in 1377 at the tender age of ten. His reign of twenty-two years witnessed some of the most dramatic events of medieval English history, including the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, the challenge to royal authority by the Appellants in 1388, and Richard's deposition in 1399 by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke. In this book a group of distinguished scholars offers exciting new insights into Richard II's reign, examining the king's personality, his conformity to the chivalric ideal and his own sense of the past. Other issues explored include the war with France, Richard II's relations with parliament and his association with the county of Cheshire.
