The Tragedy of King Richard II by William Shakespeare.
King Richard II, arrogant and extravagant, fuels discontent among his nobles. He banishes Henry Bolingbroke, a popular cousin, and seizes land to fund wars. Bolingbroke returns, rallying Richard’s enemies. With dwindling support, Richard surrenders his crown. Imprisoned, Richard grapples with his fall from power. An ambiguous order from the new King Henry IV leads to Richard’s brutal murder. The play explores themes of leadership, betrayal, and the dangers of unchecked power. Shakespeare’s “Richard II” remains a captivating exploration of a king’s downfall.
