Richard II by William Shakespeare: why 'the divine right of kings' (still) matters

Shakespeare’s Richard II is a play that asks us, among other things, what it means to have power, what it means to take power, and what we’re left with when power is gone.

Key Points: 
  • Shakespeare’s Richard II is a play that asks us, among other things, what it means to have power, what it means to take power, and what we’re left with when power is gone.
  • It is also a play that saw Shakespeare risking some serious trouble with the God-appointed monarch of his time, Elizabeth I. Shakespeare wrote Richard II around 1595.

    Macbeth by William Shakespeare: a timeless exploration of violence and treachery

What went wrong?

    • We were not born to sue, but to command;
      Which since we cannot do to make you friends,
      Be ready, as your lives shall answer it.
    • Bolingbroke and Mowbray spend a long time prepping; after all, one of them is about to die.
    • He listens to these two hotheads arguing and tries to get them to simmer down: “Forget, forgive; conclude and be agreed”.
    • Richard’s petty qualities are wonderfully demonstrated when he is delighted to hear that “Old John of Gaunt is grievous sick”.
    • He suggests Richard’s abuses of power are serious enough to have delegitimised his position: “Landlord of England art thou now, not king.”

A dangerous play?

    • When Henry Bolingbroke returns from exile to demand his stuff back, he is heading into dangerous territory by threatening Richard’s crown.
    • He declares
      Not all the water in the rough rude sea
      Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.
    • Not all the water in the rough rude sea
      Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.
    • When Bolingbroke’s quest for recompense shifts to him taking Richard’s crown in “God’s name”, Shakespeare himself enters potentially dangerous territory.

Why does ‘divine right’ still matter?

    • The “divine right of kings” may not exist now – or does it?
    • It is still technically illegal in England to call for the abolition of the monarchy.
    • British monarchs have sovereign immunity, which places them beyond the reach of laws that apply to ordinary citizens.
    • Social, economic and political systems can also seem to be largely immune from individual questioning and dissent.

Where does that leave Richard?

    • As Emma Smith, professor of Shakespeare studies at Oxford, has written, Shakespeare’s plays “prompt questions rather than supplying answers”.
    • When Richard is overthrown, his place in the universe (its centre) is suddenly denied him.
    • His sense of himself is thrown into disarray: he hasn’t just lost power; he has lost his understanding of who he is.
    • As The Flaming Lips said, “to be thought of as a king, you don’t need a crown”.
    • Richard II asks us to question our certainties, and how we understand our own sense of power and identity.
