pretty boring
honestly should be called Henry IV Prequel cause Richard is barely in it. 

it begins with King Richard solving a dispute between his uncle gaunt and that uncles son, Bolingbrook aka Henry IV. i dunno why they were fighting but Richard decides they should battle to the death but then calls it off. He then banishes both of them. Then Gaunt dies and on his death bed tells Richard how he’s a bad king and Richard is glad he’s dying. Henry IV returns after hearing of his fathers death. Richard for some reason decides to go to Ireland and conquer it but they never resolve that plot lol. When Richard returns Henry IV has conquered all of england and the welsh army has dispersed leaving Richard defenseless. Richard hides in a castle and Henry asks for his banishment to be lifted and then decides he also wants to be king. Richard begs for his life and Henry says ok but then one of his court men kills Richard anyway. A plot to kill Henry arises but a father thwarts his son and saves Henry.
