Richard. Old John of Gaunt, time-honored Lancaster,
Hast thou according to thy oath and band
Brought hither Henry Hereford, thy bold son,
Here to make good the boist'rous late appeal,
Which then our leisure would not let us hear,
Against the Duke of Norfolk, Thomas Mowbray?
- From The Tragedy of King Richard the Second by William Shakespeare

Daniel,
I believe Richard II's reputation has improved in recent years but will have to double-check.
