Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">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.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

<strong>A must Read for all ages</strong>, review on Amazon.com by Carla Taylor: &quot;I first read this book before the Simple Keys were added. It was a quick and easy read, and the instructions were easy to follow. Then when I was met with obstacles and what I wanted wasn't happening, I gave up on the principles of the book. Then I received this updated edition with the Simple Keys added. Some of this new information was the answers I needed when my goals seemed out of reach or too hard to get.The chapter on Self Worth is an important chapter. This chapter helped me to see where I was unconsciously short circuiting my own efforts. This chapter identifies several self defeating thoughts and behaviors that have been preventing me from having the results I wanted. The author kept this book intentionally short in page count, but still packed full of information. The original message is more clear and results more attainable with the added Simple Keys.&quot;<br /><br /><strong>Excellent starter book and great refresher, </strong>review on Amazon.com by Stephanie Hawkins &quot;Soul Warrior&quot;: &quot;I've re-read this book several times. My pages are dog eared and I have run out of space to journal even through the book has space for journaling in every chapter. It is a self discovery and a how-to manual. On one level it is a simple message that has been said over and over by many teachers, and on a deeper level there are tools to better integrate the depth of the message into real results. One chapter touches on the impact self esteem has on our results in life and suggestions how to begin restructuring it. It's a short but powerful read; a great beginning for someone new on the path of consciously creating their life, and a great reminder for anyone who needs to clear the dust again.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Quick, easy to read, understand and follow the instructions</strong>, review on Amazon.com by Paula Traverse</span>: &quot;I appreciate that Davenport enhances the original works and acknowledges the original author of It Works. The material that Davenport has added to the original text makes this book a greater learning as well as reference tool. Several times as I find myself in an emotionally difficult place, not moving forward in my life, I can refer back to one of the tools, referred to as &quot;keys&quot; in this book and find an exercise that will help me get out of my rut and begin moving forward again. So many jewels in each chapter.&quot;
