. . . No sovereign was ever more entirely the author of his own destruction." ^ The reign of Richard II's rival, Henry IV, was one of great confusion, ill-defined in its direction, filled with civil wars, Mights of nature, famine, and plague. Extreme poverty more than anything else characterizes the worst feature of this four- teen-year period, while diplomatic successes and the sturdy and praiseworthy behaviour of parliament must be reckoned on the side of progress. "We have no evidence of any... wise counsellors on whom he could rely, and we are led to infer that, as he headed his campaigns in person, so he directed the coun- cils of the country without reference to any will but his own." ^ Henry IV is not reckoned among the great, but was at least a man of many excellent virtues, and on the score of energy must be placed in the first rank. He was brave in battle though cautious in politics. Few speak directly of his ability. In the words of J. R. Green: "The mere maintenance of his power through the troubled years of his reign is the best proof of the king's ability." By far the most singular and this far the most interesting phenomenon is the strength and action of parUa- ment, especially as no eminent personalities emerge above the average nobleman or knight of the shire.
