A King Under Siege: Book One of The Plantagenet Legacy
Description
<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>
Story Behind The Book
JR Terrier and Friends book series was donated by my daughter, Tabitha Baskin, to help raise funds to build schools and clinics in different 3rd world countries. It is also for establishing a leadership development program using technology in the USA by providing laptops and education to deserving students.
Reviews
The J.R. Terrier Series has a message for children of all age, size, race, sex and socio-economic status.<br />Tabitha
Z. Baskin used J. R. Terrier the protagonist of her book Series to
inculcate in the mind of her youthful audience that they too can be part
of the solution to challenges encountered at home, at school, and in
the community, at large. I highly recommend the Series to the young at
heart. <br /> <br />Dolores Todmann, Retired Special Educator, St. Thomas/St. John School District
