It has been used by kings, knights, and other prominent figures throughout the centuries. In the United Kingdom, Richard has a long tradition as a royal name, with several English kings bearing the name. The king resigned under pressure on 29 September 1399, bringing his 22 year reign to an end. Taken to Pontefract castle, the failure of another loyalist plot reminded Henry of Lancaster how great a liability the live Richard II would be.
Elizabeth has used her influence to make sure her family have high-ranking positions. Richard uses this to criticise Queen Elizabeth and her family and to encourage conflict in the royal court. From 1389 when Richard declared himself to be of age, he influenced more closely the direction of government. Replaced at the height of his power, Richard had been compromised by the narrowness of his own power base and his personal inability to live up to the image that he created for the crown. Just as the Black Death shook the foundations of society from below, so the fall of Richard II and subsequent Wars of the Roses would redefine it from above. Stranded in Ireland with no means of returning to Wales and then England, Richard had to watch while the greatest nobles of the land deserted him to join Bolingbroke.

People named Richard

Motivated in part by fear for their own inheritances and general antipathy to Richard’s rule, the west and east of England quickly fell to Bolingbroke. Finally back in Britain, Richard II surrendered in Conway Castle after talks with the Earl of Northumberland, who promised that the king’s position would be respected. This was a fatal mistake that underlines the king’s limited understanding of what even the ‘most glorious’ monarch can get away with.

For example, he did not go anywhere without his 311 man bodyguard of royal archers, and favour at court once again concentrated on a handful of Richard loyalists that owed everything to the king. The final and fatal crisis of the reign derived from Richard’s continuing inability to deal with the nobility. The £83,000 dowry from the French crown meant that the king possessed assets for the first time, with over £43,000 in his reserves.

Richard II’s life and reign

Richard was imprisoned and died, probably murdered, in Pontefract Castle in 1400. In the early years of Richard’s reign, advisors (the continual councils) directed domestic and foreign policy. Heavy taxation provoked popular opposition, coming to a head in the so-called ‘Peasants’ Revolt’ of 1381. Richard is appointed Lord Protector of England, putting him in charge until the boys grow up. They were already working on a demo of the song Living In A Box, and invited him to sing the lead vocals.
