Historical
Set against the backdrop of a country racked by revolt
and class warfare, Within the Hollow Crown
showcases the true spirit of a king at the end of one
of the most glorious dynasties, who wants both England's
heart and crown. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood of
all English monarchs, the son of the Black Prince and
grandson of Edward III has been portrayed in a dim light by
history. But Margaret Campbell Barnes gives readers a
different portrait of Richard II. Although his peace-loving
ways set him apart from the war-mongering medieval world
around him, Richard proved himself a true king by standing
down a peasant revolt and outwitting the political schemes
of his enemies. Struggling to uphold the valiant Plantagent
dynasty, Richard and his queen, Anne of Bohemia, nonetheless
manage to create an exquisite partnership, described as "one
of the tenderest idylls of romance ever written."
