A French knight and his companion, Jean Creton, join king
Richard II’s expedition to Ireland in 1399 expecting to enjoy a festival of
royal pageantry but their adventure turns to traumatic nightmare when Henry
Bolingbroke returns from exile to fight the king for the crown. Written around
1402, this is a highly personalised chronicle which, though written 600 years
ago, transports the reader to the desperate and critical final weeks, and
dramatic fall of king Richard II.
This edition includes 16 colour illustrations from the
original manuscript.
