The talented, confident, and intelligent son of John of Gaunt, Henry IV started his reign as a popular and charismatic king after he dethroned the tyrannical and wildly unpopular Richard II. But six years into his reign, Henry had survived eight assassination and overthrow attempts. Having broken Gods law of primogeniture by overthrowing the man many people saw as the chosen king, Henry IV left himself vulnerable to challenges from powerful enemies about the validity of his reign. Even so, Henry managed to establish the new Lancastrian dynasty and a new rule of lawin highly turbulent times.
In this book, noted historian Ian Mortimer, author of The Time Travelers Guide to Elizabethan London, explores the political and social forces that transformed Henry IV from his nations savior to its scourge.
