<div>''Richard II'' (January 6?, [[1367]] - February 14, [[1400]]) was the son of Edward the [[Black Prince]], [[Prince of Wales]], and Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent". He was born at [[Bordeaux]] and became his grandfather's ([[Edward III]]) [[heir]] when his elder brother died in infancy and his father of infected wounds.<br />
<br />
His [[queen]], Anne of Bohemia, was sister to Wenceslaus of the carol, but, in order to pay for the [[wedding]], had to pawn her [[regalia]]. She also introduced side-[[saddle]] [[riding]] to [[England]] (as well as a fashion for tall [[hat]]s).<br />
