Historical analysis uncovers Robert de Vere's coup attempt and impact on Richard II's monarchy, suggesting deep political unrest.

Key Points

  • Robert de Vere attempted a coup in 1387, leading to significant political turmoil.
  • The monarchy faced widespread distrust, largely due to Richard II's infatuation with de Vere.
  • Observational analysis of chroniclers reveals stark opposition to de Vere's role in governance.
  • The narrative highlights the fragility of Richard II's rule, culminating in his deposition.
