Rubicon Press

Bruce reassesses the dramatic events of the summer of 1399, when Henry of Bolingbroke, Duke of Lancaster, deposed Richard II, crowned himself King, and had Richard murdered in the Tower. She provides, in readable style, a narrative of events, attempting to answer the main questions on the relationship between the Richard and Henry, and how Henry was able to depose a reiging king with such apparent ease.

An in-depth study of an astounding moment in English medieval history. Ideal for people who wish to learn more about the tragic demise of Richard II or the life of his usurper, Henry IV.\nOn 1 October 1399, Richard II, was deposed from the English throne.\nAfter succeeding to the throne as a ten year old he had faced the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381, challenges from his nobles and Parliament and the threat of French invasion, and yet his crown was taken from him by a member of his own family, his cousin, Henry of Bolingbroke.\nWhat was the relationship between these two Plantagenet princes who were both grandchildren of Edward III?\nAnd how was Henry able to usurp the throne of England at a time when so many believed in the divine rights of kings?\nMarie Louise Bruce's exceptional biography of these two medieval English monarchs utilises a variety of well-researched original sources to provide fascinating insight into their parallel lives, from 1366, as young royal princes, to 1399 when Richard II was deposed and Henry took the crown with the support of an invasion force of no more than three hundred men.\nThe Usurper Kingdom is a remarkable book that sheds light on one of the most colourful, turbulent and least known periods of English history.

An essential biography of Queen Anne Boleyn! Perfect for readers on Alison Weir, Eric Ives and John Guy.‘A very readable account of all the strands in the complicated tapestry of politics, religion, and that very uncertain quality, the King’s love’ The TimesFew queens of England are as famous as Anne Boleyn.Yet, who was this woman? What was her life like before Henry VIII became infatuated with her? And just how influential was she in reshaping English religious and political life during the early years of the Reformation?Marie Louise Bruce’s engrossing account of Anne Boleyn charts the rise and fall of this remarkable young woman through the course of her short life, from her early days at Hever Castle to the luxurious courts of France and England to her terrifying last days in the Tower of London.By utilising a wealth of primary sources, including the love letters between Henry and Anne along with innumerable documents written by courtiers and ambassadors, Bruce brings to life the splendour of the Tudor court and its most famous king and queen.‘Traces sympathetically and in great detail the life of Henry VIII’s second queen. What a woman, and what a terrible time to be her kind of woman! Beautiful, clever, talkative and strong-willed, in this book Anne Boleyn lives and dies vividly, leaving behind the proud and inescapable fact that her daughter became England’s greatest queen’ She Magazine‘A readable and balanced portrait.’ Kirkus Reviews‘Eminently readable… Marie Louise Bruce is admirably fair (and) makes good use of Henry’s letters to Anne during their courtship’ The Sunday Telegraph
