I really enjoyed Helen Castor's The Eagle and the Hart. The dichotomy of Richard II and Henry IV makes for such an arresting read, and the way Helen Castor presents the two really captivates the nuances between their overlapping legacy. We learn about the expectations of the two of them, and the way their families both enabled and contextualised their positive/negatives attributes to the kingdom. I knew little of the two but came out with a wealth of knowledge. Castor's slow unravelling really eases the reader into feeling comfortable with the subject matter and makes it such a brilliant read.
