Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Romance of History England, Vol. 2 of 3 1377. On the death of Edward, his grandson Richard was crowned without any opposition, though only eleven years of age. His three uncles, the Dukes of Lancaster, York, and Gloucester, were appointed regents. The House of Commons, which was now growing into great consequence, for the first time chose a Speaker, Peter de la Mare. 1378. The war was carried on between England and France, but in a very languid manner, when Charles V. died and was succeeded by his son Charles VI. a minor. 1381. To assist the government to carry on the war with France, the Parliament ordered a poll-tax, which led to the rebellion of Wat Tyler, Jack Straw, and others, who marched to London at the head of 100,000 men. The King held a conference with Tyler in Smithfield, where the latter was put to death by Walworth, the Mayor of London, and his followers submitted to the King. The King married Anne of Luxembourg, daughter of the Emperor Wenceslaus. 1385. The Scots, having no cavalry, applied to the regency of France, who sent over John de Vienne with 1500 men; on which an army of 60,000 men, with Richard and the Duke of Lancaster at their head, entered Scotland by Berwick.
