I know there are a goodly number of history buffs on here so maybe I can get some help with a puzzle I have been pursuing. It is received wisdom - and thereby accepted as historical fact - that King Richard II, who was deposed in 1399 had no offspring from his two wives and thus no heir. Indeed his usurper and successor was his first cousin Henry Bolingbroke who became Henry IV.
Some time back I saw a mention of Richard having a son who bore a strong resemblance to him who had some minor position at court. I cannot remember the young man's name and cannot find any reference to him or what happened to him.
Has anyone seen this story before please?
