Summary: "Koning Richard de Tweede" by William Shakespeare is a historical play written in the late 16th century. This drama explores themes of power, betrayal, and the struggles for legitimacy within English royalty, centering on the character of King Richard II and his tumultuous reign marked by conflict with noble rivals such as Henry Bolingbroke. The opening of the play introduces a tense atmosphere in the royal palace, where King Richard prepares to hear accusations of treason against Thomas Mowbray. As Richard calls the accused and his accuser, Bolingbroke, to confront one another, their heated exchanges set the stage for a duel and a deeper conflict regarding loyalty, honor, and the fate of the kingdom. Richard's role as king is complicated by familial ties and the expectations of loyalty, foreshadowing the dramatic events that will unfold as power dynamics shift.
