He was the son of Edward the Black Prince, Edward, Prince of Wales (later known as the Black Prince), and Joan, Countess of Kent.

During Richard's first years as king, government was in the hands of a series of regency councils, influenced by Richard's uncles John of Gaunt and Thomas of Woodstock.

It is the older (Norman) French form of the present participle of the verb ''appeler'', the equivalent of the English 'to appeal'. The group was called the "Lords Appellant" because its members invoked a legal procedure called an "appeal" to begin prosecution: the favourites were charged under an "appeal of treason", a device borrowed from English civil law, which led to some procedural complications. Members There were originally three Lords Appellant: * Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, son of Edward III of England, Edward III and thus the king's uncle; * Richard FitzAlan, 4th Earl of Arund ...
