Description

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.

I read both books and they were both very good. The first one really took me for a ride because I kept saying to you GET OUT, NO. The second book had me rolling, so much of what you said is so true. You have no idea how you have helped me ...my best friend is in an abusive marriage .....I am trying every way I know how to get her out of it ..... but I am realizing she has to want out ...... the tears I have cried would flood a river. I read your book and I cried so hard. I know love is very hard to let go, but once that abuse starts up it will never end. Once he hit me, he said he was sorry and then did it again. But everytime it got worse and worse, hitting me with belts, hangers and even trying to strangle me and hit me in the face or slap me. I was in love with my eyes shut, kinda like you. We all make mistakes, but we never realize that we can get into those kind of situations. Granted I was with him for 5 years and the first year we were together I never knew such a thing of him abusing me in the future. He treated me just like Shane. Have you ever hit home. Abuse should never happen, but it does. I hurt as bad as my friend hurts when she is abused. I feel the blows. I feel the pain. But there is nothing I can do until she decides she wants better in her life and walks away. The pain we feel as friends is the same pain the abused one feels, just as helpless and lost.
