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.

Story Behind The Book
Finally a real metaphysical interpretation:
February 12, 2009 By S. Burnett "Avid Book Reader" (Zephyrhills, FL) - See all my reviews
I was somewhat hesitant when I ordered this book, thinking just another literal rendition of the KJB. WOW! This is not only a great book, but a wonderful reference. You see, I am a metaphysical bookstore and spiritual center owner, and pastor. This is exactly what I was looking for to give Sunday lectures. (Don't like the word sermon.) Now I can use this book as a starting point for lecturing on taking back your own power and knowing that you DO create the world in which you live. Now Amazon will be sending me two of his other books. I look forward to adding them to my metaphysical reference library.
