Host Dennis Leap discusses Act II, Scene 1, which reveals the power of leadership of the earl of Northumberland. We also see Northumberland’s, Willoughby’s and Ross’s disgust over Richard II’s theft of Henry Bolingbroke’s estate and wealth. Willoughby and Ross fear Richard will seize their land and wealth as well; however, Northumberland reveals that Bolingbroke has already returned to England with 3,000 soldiers. The three lords rush to join Bolingbroke at Ravenspurgh.
