First published in 1971, The Loyal Conspiracy gives a detailed
examination of the most critical years of the reign of Richard II,
through an account of the careers of the Lords Appellant. These
were the five great noblemen, ranging from Thomas of Woodstock, the
King’s uncle, to Henry of Bolingbroke, later Henry IV, who rose
in arms to restrain the activities of Richard II and his partisans
in 1387. Anthony Goodman looks, too, at the origins, course and
results of this revolt, and his study of these five nobles and the
dramatic episode which united them briefly and reluctantly provides
a novel and interesting interpretation of an important section of
English medieval history. He directs new light on the personalities
of Richard and the Lords Appellant, and also on the nature of the
polity –it bases and tensions – in later fourteenth-century
England. This book will be of interest to students of history and
literature.
