I have, my liege. K. Rich. Tell me, moreover, hast thou sounded him, If he appeal the duke on ancient malice, Or worthily, as a good subject should, On some known ground Of treachery in him Gaunt. As near as I could sift him on that argument, On some apparent danger seen in him, Aim'd at your highness, - no inveterate malice. K. Rich. Then call them to our presence face to face, And frowning brow to brow, Ourselves will hear The accuser and the accused freely speak. [exeunt some Attendants.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book opens during the reign of King Richard II, a time of great political upheaval and popular unrest, against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War. At the heart of the drama is a power struggle between the king and his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Hereford. The mounting tensions between the two men ultimately erupt into open conflict as Bolingbroke returns from exile to challenge Richard's rule. The subsequent events expose the flaws in Richard's character and governance, ultimately leading to his downfall and the accession of Bolingbroke to the throne as King Henry IV. The author deftly explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, ambition, and the fragility of power in this riveting historical account, providing valuable insights into the complex political dynamics of late medieval England.
