  • Name Henry IV King Of ENGLAND  [1, 3] 
    • Henry IV of England (of Bolingbroke), K.G., Earl of Hereford and Northampton 'jure uxoris', only surviving son and heir, was born at Bolingbroke Castle, co. Lincoln, in April 1366. He was married for the first time at Arundel Castle between 30 July 1380 and 10 Feb 1381 to Mary De Bohun, younger daughter and co-heiress of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th and last Earl of Hereford, 6th Earl of Essex and 2nd Earl of Northampton, by Joan Fitz Alan, daughter of Richard Fitz Alan, 9th Earl of Arundel. She was born about 1370 and was aged eleven at time of marriage. She died at Peterborough Castle aged twenty-four after the birth of her youngest child on 4 July 1394, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral. From 1394 he devoted himself to work in Parliament and Council. He was created Duke of Hereford on 29 Sep 1397. Very soon afterwards began a quarrel with Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, which was ended by the banishment of both Dukes in September 1398. On his father's death in February 1399, Henry succeeded him as Duke of Lancaster, Earl of Lincoln and Leicester, and deposed his cousin King Richard II. He was declared King of England by Parliament on 30 Sep 1399, as Henry IV, and was crowned King of England on 13 Oct. 1399. [1]
    • Henry's seizure of the throne from Richard II was never questioned by Parliament, and indeed many people welcomed the accession of this strong and able ruler. However, throughout his reign, Henry was troubled by revolts against him by those who had once been his most loyal supporters.

      Worn down by conflict and financial problems, Henry IV died a shadow of his former, vigorous self. [2]
