Anthony
Goodman and James L. Gillespie, eds.
Richard II - The Art of
Kingship.
Oxford University
Press, 2003.
312pp.
Paperback ISBN
0199262209.
Publisher's
recommended price £24.00
Richard
II, son
of the Black Prince, had a dramatic and contentious kingship. At
fourteen
he faced down the ringleaders of the Peasant Revolt of 1381; only to
reach
the nadir of his royal authority in 1388 with the Merciless Parliament.
Yet in only a decade, his rule was being referred to as 'the tyranny'.
This collection of essays by leading historians aims to re-evaluate the
frequently biased evidence and create a rounded portrait of this
fascinating
and much maligned figure.
