Meer over het boek

Greed and Anger-- King Richard is called upon to settle a dispute over money between Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray. The situation escalates and Mowbray challenges Bolingbroke to a duel. A tournament is held to that end, but at the very beginning of the duel Richard interrupts the duel and banishes both men from England. And thus starts a downward spiral for King Richard. Must I not serve a long apprenticehood To foreign passages, and in the end, Having my freedom, boast of nothing else But that I was a journeyman to grief?
