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>

<span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;line-height:normal;"><em>&quot;<span style="font-size:12px;">I recently completed <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dead Ends to Somewhere</span>, and enjoyed it so much.  Given his rocky start in school, his discoveries and accomplishments are truly awesome and amazing and should serve as an inspiration to any budding scientists who encounter dead ends, too.   </span></em></span><div><span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:12px;">Parents and children owe Dick Ward their undying gratitude for his work in discovering a vaccine for rotavirus.  I highly recommend this book.  The author manages to entertain and inform while explaining some very complex science in terminology that any layman can understand.&quot;</span></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> -- L.
