Henry V and his family (allegorically depicted) |
Henry IV, Hotspur and the Stake
Henry IV became King in 1399. He had two difficult conflicts to deal with, the first the disunity of the Church, the second the rebellion of the Percys.
The Church was being questioned by the Lollards, followers of John Wyclif. The King issued De Haeretico Comburendo making it legal to burn a convicted heretic at the stake. He declared it illegal to preach with license from the bishop of the diocese and to preach, teach or write a book contrary to the Catholic faith or the Holy Church. In 1401 the burnings began.
Henry's conflict with the Percys concerned Scotland and Wales and was to last on and off until 1408.
Henry suffered ill health from 1405 and eventually died in 1413.
