- Description
- Those compelled to abjure the court in 1388, while less well known than the companions of Richard II who faced charges of treason, can be studied collectively as typical members of Richard's court. They include an older group, friends of Richard's father and mother, "more courtiers than warriors";and a younger group, predominantly masculine and military.
