Comparing Richard I and Henry II involves considering their different strengths and impacts. Henry II, known for establishing a strong legal framework and expanding the English monarchy's power, laid the groundwork for common law. In contrast, Richard I, famed for his military prowess, particularly during the Third Crusade, was more focused on warfare and chivalry than governance. Ultimately, Henry II's contributions to the administrative structure of England make him often regarded as the more effective ruler.
1. Henry Tudor never fought Richard II. He fought Richard III, a totally different guy. 2. Henry Tudor was never defeated by anyone. He defeated Richard III although basically because Henry's relative Lord Stanley changed sides in mid-battle, taking his troops with him. 3. Richard III was defeated by Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
Henry II was king of England from 1154 to 1189 he was followed by Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, who ruled from 1189 to 1199.
The War of the Roses really only took place during the reigns of Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III and so is described in Parts 2 and 3 of Henry VI and Richard III. The "choosing of roses" scene is in Henry VI Part I. However, Shakespeare's history has the root of the trouble in the usurpation of the throne by Henry Bolingbroke from Richard II, when Henry was not even Richard's next heir. The taint of illegitimacy stains the reigns of Henry, his son Henry V, and his grandson Henry VI, whose right to rule is challenged by the descendant of the true heir to Richard II, the Duke of York. In this sense the chronicle of the Wars of the Roses can be said to start with Richard II, and flow right through the Henry IV plays, the Henry V play and the Henry VI plays until it is resolved to the great satisfaction of Tudor historians, in Richard III.

The ten plays usually called history plays are King John, Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, Henry V, Henry VI Part 1, Henry VI Part 2, Henry VI Part 3, Richard III and Henry VIII. Kings of England portrayed at one point or another in these plays are John, Henry III, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Edward IV, Edward V, Henry VII and Henry VIII. The following Kings and Queens of England appear in Shakespeare's history plays: John, Henry III, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III, Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth. Whether they were made immortal by these characterizations is another story. Henry III and Henry VII only appear at the end of plays to take over from the previous and recently deceased monarch. And Edward V is just a teenager and Elizabeth a baby when they appear.
