This document summarizes political events in late 14th century England, including two kings being deposed and killed - Edward II in 1327 and Richard II in 1399. Richard II had become unpopular due to his advisers and actions like imprisoning the powerful noble John of Gaunt. He was ultimately deposed by Henry of Lancaster's army, establishing Henry IV as the new king but sowing seeds of civil war between nobility.
