I really didn't expect Henry V to be the reasonable one in this book
Richard II has some odd resonances to our current time, this is an interesting read if you're looking for medieval history

#HelenCastor #Booksof2025 no. 14. A medieval family's letters give us a very clear sense of the very human drama behind the events of the late middle ages and Wars of the Roses. Castor combines the many threads very well and the era feels lived in; many books about this period fail to do this.
