The real life story of the Plantagenet ruler, by “the most remarkable medieval historian of our time” (The Times, London).   The talented, confident, and intelligent son of John of Gaunt, Henry IV started his reign as a popular and charismatic king after he dethroned the tyrannical and wildly unpopular Richard II. But six years into his reign, Henry had survived eight assassination and overthrow attempts.   Having broken God’s law of primogeniture by overthrowing the man many people saw as the chosen king, Henry IV left himself vulnerable to challenges from powerful enemies about the validity of his reign. Even so, Henry managed to establish the new Lancastrian dynasty and a new rule of law—in highly turbulent times.   In this book, noted historian Ian Mortimer, bestselling author of The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England and The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England, goes beyond the legend portrayed in Shakespeare’s history play, and explores the political and social forces that transformed Henry IV from his nation’s savior to its scourge.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Henry IV: The Righteous King has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

After reading Edith Pargeter's excellent work of HF "A Bloody Field By Shrewsbury" featuring Henry IV, I thought to learn more about this most interesting medieval English king. I found this site to be an excellent resource in looking for a "straight" biography. Likewise, the many positive reader reviews here encouraged me to read this one and I was rewarded for doing so. Mortimer offers an excellent blend of scholarly history (as evidenced by his numerous, detailed appendices) and psychological insight. Too often I find biographies of medieval persons to be either bogged down in arcane research notes or gossipy and based on the writer's biases and suppositions. Mortimer finds a balance between these less satisfactory approaches with a resulting depiction of Henry of Lancaster which is both reasonably personal and historically reliable. Mortimer's clear interest in his subject translates well to his reader and I came away with respect, appreciation and even fondness for Bolingbroke, not as usurper, but as breaker of long tradition who succeeded in removing a tyrant from the throne and establishing a new dynasty of his own family with permanent impact on the course of English history. Works such as this make learning history enjoyable and rewarding.
