Series: Manchester Medieval Sources

This collection of sources covers one of the most controversial and
shocking episodes in medieval English history, the 'tyranny' and
deposition of Richard II and the usurpation of the throne by his
cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV. Contemporaries
were sharply divided about the rights and wrongs of both Richard
and Henry, and this division is reflected in the texts which form
the major part of these sources. All the principal contemporary
chronicles are represented in this collection, from the violently
partisan Thomas Walsingham, chronicler of St Alban's Abbey who saw
Richard as a tyrant and murderer, to the indignant Dieulacres
chronicler, who claimed that the 'innocent king' was tricked into
surrender by his perjured barons. -- .
