Description:Richard II succeeded to the throne at the age of ten. England was still at war with France and seething with unrest at home; unrest which culminated in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. The peasants, under their leaders John Ball, Jack Straw and Wat Tyler, were on the brink of total revolution. Only Richard's resourcefulness saved him and his barons from certain death.From then on, however, Richard's relationship with his barons deteriorated. They resented his blind affection for the favourite Robert de Vere, and the power which he invested in his tutor, Sir Simon Burley. Richard, passionate and quick-tempered, made many enemies, the chief of whom was his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. The first half of Richard's reign closed with him and his beloved wife, Anne of Bohemia, prisoners in the Tower, Burley executed and de Vere in exile. But Richard was determined to survive and revenge himself on his persecutors.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
