The reign of Richard II and the circumstances of his deposition
have long been subject to intense debate. This new interpretation
of the politics of the late-fourteenth century offers an in-depth
survey of Richard's reign from the perspective of one of the
leading nobles who came to oppose him, Thomas Beauchamp, the
Appellant Earl of Warwick. This is the first full-length study of
one of Richard II's opponents to explore not only why the Earl
rebelled against the King, but also why Richard lost his throne.
Rather than offering the traditional explanation of a subject grown
too mighty, Alison Gundy sets Warwick's rule in the context of the
political and constitutional framework of the period. The interplay
of local and national events helps to reveal Warwick's motives as a
long-serving member of the nobility faced with a king determined to
rule in a manner contradictory to contemporary political
structures.
