About This Item
1681 1ed Richard II of England Life & Reign Hundred Years War Medieval Howard
Richard II of England was a 14th-century King of England who withstood major difficulties such the Hundred Years' War and the infamous Peasant's Revolt. His reputation has lived famously, much in part to William Shakespeare whose play 'Richard II' is one of the best literary works on the King's life and reign.
Author information from Wing, attributed to Howard, a 17th-century playwright who defended the royal crown during the English Civil War. He was worried; however, that his stance would contribute negatively to his work, so he published 'Life and Reign' anonymously as 'a person of quality'.
