King Richard the Second /

Kings and queens in the 14th century ruled by divine right, and the process of removing one was difficult. A rebellion against even the most corrupt monarch (unless he was an absolute tyrant) was viewed as an uprising against heaven itself. This is the story of just such a momentous uprising.
