Richard II: Manhood, Youth, and Politics 1377-99 - Oxford Historical Monographs
Fletcher, Christopher (, Charge de Recherche, Laboratoire de Medievistique Occidentale de Paris I (Pantheon-Sorbonne))
Richard II has long suffered from an effeminate reputation, but the real king was very different. This book argues that the king sought to assert his authority by acting in accordance with prevailing ideas of manhood, first through a military campaign, and then, fatally, through revenge against those who attempted to restrain him.
