Dr. Given-Wilson examines the reasons for the unpopularity of the royal household at a time when it stood at the very centre of the English political stage, thus shedding new light on such celebrated events as the Good Parliament of 1376, the Merciless Parliament of 1388, the revolution of 1399, and the political and financial solvency of the household during these years, and to the recruitment of the king's affinity under Richard II and Henry IV.
