The second season of the based-on-history series
Now ten years into his reign, Richard II continues to rule of England while his wife, Anne of Bohemia falls ill and perishes within a few years. In an attempt to de-escalate the war, Charles VI, King of France, marries off his daughter, Isabella of Valois, to Richard II. While accepting the marriage proposal, Richard II begins an affair with his close friend and advisor Robert de Vere. As de Vere becomes increasingly unpopular within the English court and the truce with France crumples as Richard II doesn't produce an heir with Isabella of Valois, the English king attempts to keep stability in his nation. However this comes unsuccessfully as many high ranking nobles side with John of Gaunt with the goal of usurping Richard II. Season 2 takes place between 1388 and 1397.
