Season 7 | 4. The Tyranny Begins

After surviving the Peasants’ Revolt, Richard II comes out on top. He has violently suppressed the rebels and married the well-credentialed Anne of Bohemia. But this Plantagenet has his eye on another playmate, the handsome Robert De Vere. Richard’s wandering eye could spell disaster for England’s fortunes. If you want to find out more about the last time a King had a handsome playmate, listen to This Is History’s second bonus episode from season five. You can also find out more about Anne of Bohemia and the regal reputation she carried in this week’s bonus episode.
