Question

Honors World History : Middle Ages

What type of leader was Richard II and what tactical error did he make? What can modern leaders learn from his example?

The part I need help on is mostly the second part of the first question and the last question. Thanks!

Answer 1

"He shows that, although Richard's kingship resembled that of other rulers of the period, unlike theirs, his reign ended in failure because of tactical errors and contradictions in his policies. For all that he promoted the image of a distant, all-powerful monarch, Richard II's rule was in practice characterized by faction and feud. The king was obsessed by the search for personal security: in his subjects, however, he bred only insecurity and fear." This is from http://yalepress.yale.edu/book.asp?isbn=9780300078756
