By the end of the play, he is not king anymore he is dead. When Richard II begins, Richard is in full king mode: throne, crown, sceptre. The “Henriad” shows the monarchy in a state of turmoil. These plays were recently presented as the BBC series The Hollow Crown (2012-2016). It is the first part of the “Henriad”, a sequence of eight historical plays that span the “Wars of the Roses”: Richard II, Henry IV parts 1 and 2, Henry V, Henry VI parts 1, 2 and 3, and Richard III.
