ISBN: 9781445662787.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard II is a figure famous in Englands national myths – the king who went insane, the narcissist, the tyrant of Shakespeares play. History regards his rule either as that of a superhuman monarch or a crazed and vicious ruler. But Richard II was a complex and conflicted man – a person with faults and shortcomings thrust into a role that demanded greatness. In this book, Kathryn Warner returns with the first modern biography of Richard II in decades, to paint a portrait of the king with all of his strengths and imperfections left in the picture. An aesthete and patron of the arts as well as a person troubled by a much-maligned ‘personality disorder’, Richard II here emerges from behind the mask of a theatrical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amberley Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948696694837,"sku":"ByrdShop_1445662787","price":222.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781445662787_a5642046-5c4d-49f7-8b8b-070ecbfaaae9.jpg?v=1781392107","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/richard-ii-a-true-kings-fall-9781445662787","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
