Scorned and loved, lauded and betrayed, the figure of Richard II has come down through history as one of the most controversial of English kings. The author has painted a new picture of Richard and his time - a charming, witty, civilized man, who struggled to lift England from the morass of war. The love story of Richard and Queen Anne is told with tenderness and passion. Through these pages sweeps the grandeur, the intrigue, romance and reality of the opening years of the Middle Ages.
