I'm sure ShaneyStar's link is fantastic but had this link bookmarked as I studied it earlier in the year:

Hope you enjoy it! x

and remember this play - once you see it you'll why - was performed at the Essex' the night before his unsuccesful rebellion.

the playing of the play was thought to be treasonable.

remember this is sharkespeare and Richard II was looked on and portrayed as a 'bad' king - and henry iv who was really a usurgper a good king

henry is bolingbrooke in this one.

Ricahrd 11 wasnt that bad -and his queen anne of bohemia was nice - and they invented handkerchieves and forks between them....
