King Richard II and The Tyranny! Despot Monarch Who Ruled Through Fear

Westminster Abbey has seen the crowning of many a monarch, and of course is also the final resting place for many of England’s famous people, people who have emanated through time often changing the course of history. However, I’m going to show you the final resting place of a former king of England, one that presided over a twenty two year reign that was not only authoritarian in its nature - but absolute. His reign was epitomised by a period renowned for its brutality, treachery and death, a time we now refer to as The Tyranny - and the name of this king? - well, Richard II - King of England.
