He suffered from the disastrous combination of a most exalted sense of his own power and an inability to impress that power on those closest to the throne. Neither trusted nor feared, Richard battled with a whole series of failures and emergencies before finally succumbing to a coup, imprisonment and murder. Laura Ashe's brilliant account of his reign emphasizes the strange gap between Richard's personal incapacity and the amazing cultural legacy of his reign - from the Wilton Diptych to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales. 600 00 $a Richard $b II, $c King of England, $d 1367-1400. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Richard II, 1377-1399 $v Biography. 648 7 $a 1377-1399 $2 fast 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9780141979908 830 0 $a Penguin monarchs. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802023141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21AA35E019C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
