About Richard II of England
At sixteen, I stood before the rebellious peasants of Essex and Kent at Mile End, granting charters that promised an end to serfdom, only to revoke them days later when the revolt collapsed. My reign was defined not by battlefield glory but by the quiet, relentless assertion of divine kingship: dissolving parliaments, exiling rivals like Bolingbroke, and commissioning the Wilton Diptych, a shimmering visual manifesto of God’s personal favor upon my rule. I reshaped royal ceremony into theology in motion, insisting on the bow of the knee, the kiss of the ring, and the silence that fell when I entered a hall. Unlike Edward III or Henry V, I wielded power through ritual precision, not conquest, and paid for it with deposition, not death in battle. My downfall wasn’t treason alone, but the unraveling of a worldview in which law was subordinate to grace, and governance inseparable from sacred theatre.
