鹰与鹿：理查二世和亨利四世的悲剧

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.

acclaimed历史学家和作家带来了史诗级的历史：理查二世和亨利四世的双传，两位堂兄弟的生活轨迹在历史上以极其相似的方式展开，直到亨利废黜暴君理查并宣布自己为英格兰国王。 出生仅相隔三个月的布卢瓦公爵理查德和博林戈姆公爵亨利，在理查成为英格兰国王时都只有十岁。他们三十二岁时，亨利推翻了理查，并自封为英国国王。现在，一个历史上最奇怪且最具决定性事件的故事（也是莎士比亚最著名的历史剧的灵感来源），被《玫瑰与血》一书作者哈丽·卡斯特生动地呈现出来。 理查拥有合法继承权，并坚信自己是上帝赋予的王权。但除此之外，他缺乏任何领导品质。一个自恋者，既不理解也不接受支撑其统治的原则，他既不是保卫领地的战士，也不是一位保护人民正义的立法者。相反，他声称“他的法律在他自己的口中”，并照此行事。他寻求将任何形式的反对视为叛乱，并招募了一支效忠于自己而非国家的私人军队；并且打算摧毁那些试图约束他的人。
