The british history

Beschreibung / Inhalt
Das Dokument befasst sich mit verschiedenen Ereignissen und Themen der späten mittelalterlichen Geschichte, insbesondere in England und Schottland. Es beginnt mit dem walisischen Aufstand unter Owain Glyn Dwr gegen die englische Herrschaft, gefolgt von einigen Konflikten und Verschwörungen gegen König Henry IV. Eine Gruppe von sogenannten Lollards, religiöse Abweichler, rebellierte in 1414 unter Sir John Oldcastle. Dann geht es weiter zur englischen Eroberung und dem Versuch, den französischen Thron zu beanspruchen, angeführt durch Heinrich V und später fortgesetzt durch seinen Sohn Heinrich VI. Die Ereignisse in Schottland unter König James I und II werden ebenfalls behandelt, darunter Machtverschiebungen und Morde innerhalb des Douglases-Clans und ein gescheiterter Belagerungsversuch in Roxburgh Castle, bei dem James II starb. Das Dokument endet mit einem Hinweis auf den Zusammenbruch der Lancastrian-Dynastie und den Beginn der Rosenkriege in England.
