Download or read book Henry IV written by Chris Given-Wilson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry IV (1399-1413), the son of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, seized the English throne at the age of thirty-two from his cousin Richard II and held it until his death, aged forty-five, when he was succeeded by his son, Henry V. This comprehensive and nuanced biography restores to his rightful place a king often overlooked in favor of his illustrious progeny. Henry faced the usual problems of usurpers: foreign wars, rebellions, and plots, as well as the ambitions and demands of the Lancastrian retainers who had helped him win the throne. By 1406 his rule was broadly established, and although he became ill shortly after this and never fully recovered, he retained ultimate power until his death. Using a wide variety of previously untapped archival materials, Chris Given-Wilson reveals a cultured, extravagant, and skeptical monarch who crushed opposition ruthlessly but never quite succeeded in satisfying the expectations of his own supporters.

Download or read book The Reign of Henry IV written by Gwilym Dodd and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2008 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations of Henry IV's reign have tended to concentrate on how he seized power, rather than how he governed. However, the period between 1403 and 1413 was no less dramatic and challenging for Henry than the initial years of his rule: he faced a series of rebellions, a financial crisis, deep-seated opposition in parliament, ill-health and a number of serious dilemmas relating to foreign policy. The essays here examine, and provide fresh interpretations of, both these particular aspects, and of broader topics adding to our understanding and government and society in the period, including the role of the lower clergy in parliament, and the mechanisms and scope of royal patronage.

Download or read book The Fears of Henry IV written by Ian Mortimer and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the saviour of the realm to the subject of multiple attempted assassinations in the space of six years. King Henry IV's reign was characterised by his fear and paranoia, but above all a continued quest for survival. The son of John the Gaunt, Henry was seen as a confident, well-educated, generous, and spiritually fervent young man. And, in 1399, having ousted the insecure tyrannical Richard II, he was enthusiastically greeted as the new King of England. However, therein lay Henry's weakness. Upon assuming the crown, he found himself surrounded by men who would only support him as long as they could control him. When they failed, they plotted to kill him. Long characterised as a treacherous murderer for slaying Richard II, Henry IV's achievements as king have been played down throughout history. However, in this fascinating examination of his reign, Ian Mortimer revaluates what Henry managed to accomplish against all adversity as king. Provoking a social revolution as well as a political one, he took a poorly ruled nation into a new, Lancastrian dynasty, and, while perhaps not the most glorious king England has ever had, he certainly proves to one of the bravest. '[Mortimer] has... a vivid historical imagination which lends colour and excitement to his pages' Literary Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England Under Henry the Fourth, Vol. 4: 1411-1413 In a work containing such a crowd of details I am conscious that there are many mistakes, some of which I had intended to correct in a separate list. But this volume has already exceeded its destined length, and I can only promise that, if a second edition should ever be called for, I will do my best to remove these blots so far as they have come to my knowledge. Most of my critics have found fault with the book for its over-minuteness, but I shall be repaid if it should ultimately prove of service to some coming historian, who may find its facts of value while dealing more broadly with the great under lying issues of a revolution era which fixed a new dynasty on the throne of England.
