Once again the Baron’s challenge the authority of the appointed king this time however the challengers include Richard II’s cousin, Henry Bolingbroke claims the throne citing his mothers “greater nobility” In the meantime the Mortimers regained their position and one of their number is now the heir to the throne. Bolingbroke’s claim opens the door for the Mortimers to claim even greater “nobility”. None of this is of great importance to Ximene but as the Wars of the Roses commences it is impossible to avoid becoming embroiled in the turmoil.
