Death of King Richard II, circa 1400
From an original engraving after Francis Wheatley (1747-1801) From the Hume & Stafford history of England published circa 1868. Somewhat fanciful depiction probably as it's commonly supposed he starved to death, though little evidence exists so it may be he was killed by Henry's men, though unlikely he would be armed & defending himself as shown here.
