This monograph is based on a symposium held in the National
Gallery, London which showed how Richard II's beliefs may have been
expressed in the highly religious work, the Wilton Diptych, and how
he aspired to equal in magnificence the royal figures of Europe, in
particular Bohemia and France. Richard's love of material splendour
from the rebuilding of Westminster Hall to his lavish expenditure
on dress and gifts is argued in these essays. All the facets of the
regal image are underpinned by experts in the history, sociology
and artefacts of the period, who in their studies aim to bring out
the political difficulties under which Richard was operating.
