The real life story of the Plantagenet ruler, by "the most remarkable medieval historian of our time" (
The Times, London).
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 God's 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 law-in highly turbulent times.
In this book, noted historian Ian Mortimer, bestselling author of
The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England and
The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England, goes beyond the legend portrayed in Shakespeare's history play, and explores the political and social forces that transformed Henry IV from his nation's savior to its scourge.
