Richard II, also known as Richard of Bordeaux, was King of England from 1377 until he was deposed on September 30, 1399. Richard, a son of Edward, the Black Prince, was born in Bordeaux during the reign of his grandfather, Edward III. Richard was the younger brother of Edward of Angoulême; upon whose death, Richard, at four years of age, became second in line to the throne after his father. Upon the death of Richard's father prior to the death of Edward III, Richard became the heir apparent to the throne. With Edward III's death the following year, Richard succeeded to the throne at the age of ten.
