"Koning Richard de Tweede" by William Shakespeare is a history play written in 1595. It dramatizes the final years of King Richard II's reign as English nobles conspire to bring about his downfall. When Richard banishes his cousin Bolingbroke and seizes his inheritance, he sets in motion a chain of events leading to rebellion. The play chronicles Richard's descent from absolute monarch to deposed prisoner, while Bolingbroke rises to claim the crown as Henry IV, leaving both men to reckon with the consequences of their actions.
