Légende
Nobles before King Richard II, Westminster, 1387 (1864). Lords Arundel, Gloucester, Nottingham, Derby and Warwick before the King, who demands the removal of the traitors who were about him. The five earls are known as the Lords Apellant. In 1387 they rebelled against the King, leaving him on the throne but effectively only as a figurehead. Richard (1367-1400) gradually rebuilt his power with the help of the powerful Duke of Lancaster. John of Gaunt, and by 1397 was able to destroy the Lords Apellant. In 1399 however, one of the five, Henry Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby, deposed Richard and assumed the throne himself as Henry IV. Richard was imprisoned and died, probably murdered, in 1400 in Pontefract Castle.
