Richard II King Of ENGLAND [1, 3] |
- Richard II of England, younger son, born 6 Jan 1367, grandson and her of King Edward III, after his father's death created Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and Earl of Chester on 20 Nov 1376; succeeded his grandfather as King of England on 22 June 1377, and was crowned 16 July; deposed by his cousin Henry 'of Bolingbroke,' Duke of Lancaster, on 29 Sep 1399; died in prison in Pontefract Castle 6 Jan 1400.

- Richard came to the throne as a ten-year-old child, and his advisers ruled the country until 1389, when Richard took control himself. At first he ruled well, presiding over a period of prosperity, but after the death of his wife, Anne, in 1394, his behaviour changed. In 1399 he was forced to abdicate. [2]
