It is only with the Peasants' Revolt that Richard starts to emerge clearly in the annals.[20] One of his first significant acts after the rebellion was to marry Anne of Bohemia, daughter of Charles IV, King of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperor and Elisabeth of Pomerania, on 20 January 1382.[21] The marriage had diplomatic significance; in the division of Europe caused by the Great Schism, Bohemia and the Empire were seen as potential allies against France in the ongoing Hundred Years' War.[c] However, the marriage was not popular in England. Despite great sums of money awarded to the Empire, the political alliance never resulted in any military victories.[22] The marriage was childless, and Anne died in 1394.[23]

Michael de la Pole had been instrumental in the marriage negotiations;[4] he had the king's confidence, and gradually became more involved at court and in government as Richard came of age.[24] De la Pole came from an upstart merchant family.[25] When Richard made him chancellor in 1383, and created him Earl of Suffolk two years later, this antagonised the more established nobility.[26] Another member of the close circle around the king was Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford (Aubrey de Vere's nephew), who in this period emerged as the king's favourite. De Vere's lineage, while an ancient one, was relatively modest in the peerage of England.[27] Richard's close friendship to de Vere was also disagreeable to the political establishment. This displeasure was exacerbated by the earl's elevation to the new title of Duke of Ireland in 1386.[28] The chronicler Thomas Walsingham suggested the relationship between the king and de Vere was of a homosexual nature.[29]

Tensions came to a head over the approach to the war in France. While the court party preferred negotiations, Gaunt and Buckingham urged a large-scale campaign to protect English possessions.[4] Instead, a so-called crusade led by Henry le Despenser, bishop of Norwich was dispatched, which failed miserably.[4] Faced with failure on the continent, Richard instead turned his attention towards France's ally, Scotland. In 1385, the king himself led a punitive expedition to the north,[30] but the effort came to nothing, and the army had to return without ever engaging the Scots in battle.[31] Meanwhile, only an uprising in Ghent prevented a French invasion of southern England.[32] The relationship between Richard and his uncle deteriorated further with military failure, and among rumours of a plot against his person, John of Gaunt left England to pursue his claim to the throne of Castille in 1386.[4] With Gaunt gone, the unofficial leadership of the growing dissent against the king and his courtiers passed to Buckingham - who had by now been created duke of Gloucester - and Richard Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel.[4]
