Reign Of Terror: The Vicious Rule Of King Richard II | Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty | Timeline
The British dynasty on which Game of Thrones is based is skilfully brought to life
Following one of the most shocking periods in British history, a new historical docu-drama brings to life the dynasty that dragged Britain out of the dark ages and into the modern world. Ruling the country for over three hundred years, ruthlessly crushing all competition, The Plantagenet story is more shocking, more brutal and more astonishing than anything you’ll find in Game of Thrones.
Presented by acclaimed historian Dan Jones, the Plantagenets combines his scintillating story-telling with drama reconstruction and brings to life a dramatic and bloody time in England’s history.

Richard II ruled England from 1377-1399. He’s the eighth Plantagenet king to have ruled England.

He’s the eighth Plantagenet King to have ruled England.
Here he is in our Kings and Queens timeline, ruling around 650 years ago.

This episode covers the latter half of Edward II's reign and his overthrow on behalf of his son, Edward III. Edward III's reign saw the beginning of the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death and the episode covers how these changed English society. His grandson Richard II succeeded him and his reign had many issues ranging from the Peasants' Revolt to his nobility, who deposed him for Henry IV.

King Richard II and The Tyranny! Despot Monarch Who Ruled Through Fear
Westminster Abbey has seen the crowning of many a monarch, and of course is also the final resting place for many of England’s famous people, people who have emanated through time often changing the course of history. However, I’m going to show you the final resting place of a former king of England, one that presided over a twenty two year reign that was not only authoritarian in its nature - but absolute. His reign was epitomised by a period renowned for its brutality, treachery and death, a time we now refer to as The Tyranny - and the name of this king? - well, Richard II - King of England.

The British dynasty on which Game of Thrones is based is skilfully brought to life
Following one of the most shocking periods in British history, a new historical docu-drama brings to life the dynasty that dragged Britain out of the dark ages and into the modern world. Ruling the country for over three hundred years, ruthlessly crushing all competition, The Plantagenet story is more shocking, more brutal and more astonishing than anything you’ll find in Game of Thrones.
Presented by acclaimed historian Dan Jones, the Plantagenets combines his scintillating story-telling with drama reconstruction and brings to life a dramatic and bloody time in England’s history.
This is history like you’ve never seen it before. Dan delivers his extraordinary take on one of the most visceral and violent chapters in British History. The series begins with Henry II, a control freak betrayed by his own wife and children after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket. Episode two reveals the collapse of friendship between Henry III and Simon de Montfort, spiraling into bloody civil war. Edward II’s obsession with revenge tears England apart in episode 3. Finally, episode four tells the story of the boy king tyrant, Richard II, one of the most vicious and inventive despots in history.

Richard II ruled England from 1377-1399. He’s the eighth Plantagenet king to have ruled England.
He’s best known for facing down the Peasants Revolt in 1381, continuing the 100 Years War started by his grandfather Edward III and for being dethroned by his cousin Henry Bolingbroke who would succeed him as Henry IV.
He’s the eighth Plantagenet King to have ruled England.
Here he is in our Kings and Queens timeline, ruling around 650 years ago.
…
When he was born in 1367, his grandfather Edward III had been on the throne for 40 years. He was the son of the King’s eldest Edward the Black Prince, who would have ruled as King Edward IV, had he not died in 1376.
As a consequence when Edward III’s 50-year reign finally ended, his grandson was crowned.
Before the old King died, he perhaps detected that trouble was brewing.
Another son of his, John of Gaunt , had become one of the richest, most powerful men in England and there appears to have been fears that he would usurp the throne.
To that end the King’s young grandson was quickly made Prince of Wales (a kind of King-in-waiting position).
Additionally, Richard and John of Gaunt’s son Henry Bolingbroke were summoned to stand before the elderly Edward III. The young cousins were made to swear and oath that they would never take up arms against each other and were rewarded by being made knights of the blue garter.
Edward III died in 1377 and 10 year old Richard was crowned.
One of Richard II’s earliest challenges was the Peasant’s Revolt of 1381. The Black Death had swept through Europe killing up to half of Europe’s population.
Peasants working hard to generate profits for landowners were therefore thin on the ground and on top of that income from rents had collapsed.
How would those in charge pay for things like trinkets, horses and the 100-year war Edward III had just started?
Simple. A poll tax. Three of them were introduced between 1377 and 1381 forcing already poor peasants to hand over even more of their hard earned pennies.
Eventually, the Peasants had enough and riots broke out across the country.
Peasant armies - many of them well trained archers thanks to Edward III’s efforts to create a kingdom of warriors - marched on London.
Their target wasn’t the king but the greedy aristocrats around him.
Nobles such as the King’s uncle John of Gaunt, whose Savoy Palace was burnt to a cinder.
The peasants were inspired by several leaders - one of them a radical priest who impassioned them with the famous words - when Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?
London seemed leaderless. The young King - holed up in the Tower of London for his own protection - took charge and issued a charter of liberties after which some of the peasants dispersed. He also left the Tower and confronted the rebels.
At Mile End he came face to face with another peasant leader Wat Tyler. Why hadn’t the men of Kent and Essex gone home, he asked?
A row ensued and the Lord Mayor of London stabbed Tyler in front of the King. The atmosphere was suddenly very dangerous - Richard however rode up to the peasant army, told them ‘I’m your leader, follow me’ and amazingly the angry mob did just that and dispersed.

His grandson Richard II succeeded him and his reign had many issues ranging from the Peasants' Revolt to his nobility, who deposed him for Henry IV.

This episode covers the latter half of Edward II's reign and his overthrow on behalf of his son, Edward III. Edward III's reign saw the beginning of the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death and the episode covers how these changed English society. His grandson Richard II succeeded him and his reign had many issues ranging from the Peasants' Revolt to his nobility, who deposed him for Henry IV. Really this episode is about how nobles and kings argued over money.

Westminster Abbey has seen the crowning of many a monarch, and of course is also the final resting place for many of England’s famous people, people who have emanated through time often changing the course of history. However, I’m going to show you the final resting place of a former king of England, one that presided over a twenty two year reign that was not only authoritarian in its nature - but absolute. His reign was epitomised by a period renowned for its brutality, treachery and death, a time we now refer to as The Tyranny - and the name of this king? - well, Richard II - King of England.

The British dynasty on which Game of Thrones is based is skilfully brought to life
Following one of the most shocking periods in British history, a new historical docu-drama brings to life the dynasty that dragged Britain out of the dark ages and into the modern world. Ruling the country for over three hundred years, ruthlessly crushing all competition, The Plantagenet story is more shocking, more brutal and more astonishing than anything you’ll find in Game of Thrones.
Presented by acclaimed historian Dan Jones, the Plantagenets combines his scintillating story-telling with drama reconstruction and brings to life a dramatic and bloody time in England’s history.
This is history like you’ve never seen it before. Dan delivers his extraordinary take on one of the most visceral and violent chapters in British History. The series begins with Henry II, a control freak betrayed by his own wife and children after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket. Episode two reveals the collapse of friendship between Henry III and Simon de Montfort, spiraling into bloody civil war. Edward II’s obsession with revenge tears England apart in episode 3. Finally, episode four tells the story of the boy king tyrant, Richard II, one of the most vicious and inventive despots in history.
