Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>

<p>L. Zindman - &quot;I can't stop crying. As a teacher, myself, I have to ask, </p> <p>&quot;What were his teachers thinking?&quot; Why did no one try to save this boy? </p> <p>It's too horrible to imagine that Christian went through a similar </p> <p>horror. You definitely give the reader a clear, concise picture. Thank </p> <p>you for writing this book.&quot;</p> <p>This one is on the Niobrara Facebook page, written by a youngster ...</p> <p>M. Sweatt - &quot;After I read this book I had a new view of life, that is in </p> <p>some words life is not 'unicorns and rainbows' but sometimes a fight to </p> <p>the death unfortunately. This book helped me realize that. This young </p> <p>boy just wanted love and all he got was hate. I myself being a child as </p> <p>old as this one am grateful I have a family that loves and cares for me </p> <p>and with that I will be eternally happy.&quot;</p>
