From an acclaimed historian and author comes an epic history: the dual biography of Richard II and Henry IV, two cousins whose lives played out in extraordinary parallel, until Henry deposed the tyrant Richard and declared himself King of England. Richard of Bordeaux and Henry of Bolingbroke, cousins born just three months apart, were ten years old when Richard became king of England. They were thirty-two when Henry deposed him and became king in his place. Now, the story behind one of the strangest and most fateful events in English history (and the inspiration behind Shakespeare’s most celebrated history plays) is brought to vivid life by the acclaimed author of Blood and Roses, Helen Castor. Richard had birthright on his side, and a profound belief in his own God-given majesty. But beyond that, he lacked all qualities of leadership. A narcissist who did not understand or accept the principles that underpinned his rule, he was neither a warrior defending his kingdom, nor a lawgiver whose justice protected his people. Instead, he declared that “his laws were in his own mouth,” and acted accordingly. He sought to define as treason any resistance to his will and recruited a private army loyal to himself rather than the realm—and he intended to destroy those who tried to restrain him. Henry was everything Richard was not: a leader who inspired both loyalty and friendship, a soldier and a chivalric hero, dutiful, responsible, principled. After years of tension and conflict, Richard banished him and seized his vast inheritance. Richard had been crowned a king but he had become a tyrant, and as a tyrant—ruling by arbitrary will rather than established law—he was deposed by his cousin Henry, the only possible candidate to take his place. Henry was welcomed as a liberator, a champion of the people against his predecessor’s paranoid despotism. But within months he too was facing rebellion. Men knew that a deposer could in turn be deposed, and the new king found himself buffeted by unrest and by chronic ill-health until he seemed a shadow of his former self, trapped by political uncertainty and troubled by these signs that God might not, after all, endorse his actions. Captivating, immersive, and highly relevant to today’s times, The Eagle and the Hart is a story about what happens when a ruler prioritizes power over the interests of his own people. When a ruler demands loyalty to himself as an individual, rather than duty to the established constitution, and when he seeks to reshape reality rather than concede the force of verifiable truths. Above all, it is a story about how a nation was brought to the brink of catastrophe and disintegration—and, in the end, how it was brought back.

来自一位备受赞誉的历史学家和作家，现在有一部宏大的历史：理查二世和亨利四世的双传。他们是堂兄弟，在非凡的平行线上度过了他们的生活，直到亨利推翻了暴君理查，并以自己的国王的身份登上了王位。出生在波尔多的理查以及生于博林布鲁克的亨利，他们在三月内相差不到三个月的时间，就在他们年仅十岁时就成为了英格兰的国王。他们三十岁时，理查被亨利推翻了并取代了他的位置成为了英格兰的国王。现在，在英国历史上最奇怪且命运攸关的事件背后的故事，由《蔷薇与战栗》作者海伦·卡斯特带来的栩栩如生的作品终于呈现在世人面前。理查站在自己继承人的地位上，并拥有他自身的神圣统治权。但是除了这一点外，他还缺乏所有作为领导者的品质。这个自大者既不理解也不接受支撑其统治的原则，在他看来，他的法律只存在于他自己口中而已，并且他采取了相应的行动来表现这一事实。他寻求定义任何抵抗他的意志的为叛乱行为，并招募了一支忠诚于自己而非王国的私人军队——并意图摧毁那些试图控制他的任何人。亨利则刚好与理查相反：一个既激发人们的忠诚又鼓舞人心的朋友，一位士兵和一名骑士英雄，是一个值得信任、有责任心且原则性的领袖。在数年的紧张和冲突后，理查将他驱逐了，并占有了他的大量遗产。理查曾被加冕为国王，但最终却成为了暴君，作为不受建立法律所支配的统治者，他被他的堂兄亨利推翻，并成为唯一的可能接替他的人。亨利以解放者的身份受到了欢迎，他是人民对抗前任独裁政体的精神领袖。但是，在几个月之后，他也面临着叛乱。人们知道一个继任者也可能再次被取代，新国王发现自己陷入动荡和慢性健康问题的困扰之中，直至他的形象变得模糊不清，陷入了政治的不确定性，并且被这些迹象所困——即上帝是否可能真的不支持他所做的事情。扣人心弦、令人沉浸其中并且高度相关到当今时代的《鹰与鹿》，讲述了一个关于当一个统治者将权力置于自己人民的利益之上的故事。当一个统治者要求个人忠诚，而非对已确立的宪法的责任，当他们寻求重塑现实而非承认可验证真理的力量时。最重要的是，它讲述了国家如何达到危及稳定和解体的地步——最终又是如何回到正轨的故事。
