In Shakespeare's Richard II, the titular king is depicted as out of touch with his realm, squandering resources and prioritizing his vanity over the needs of his subjects. The narrative follows Henry Bolingbroke's challenge for the throne, leading to Richard's downfall and unexpected personal growth. This poetic masterpiece marks the beginning of the House of Lancaster's rise and sets the stage for the Wars of the Roses.
