King Richard II is Shakespeare's history play on the last years of King Richard II of England.
Bibliographic notesAs with Shakespeare's other plays, there is no "original" manuscript or author-supervised publication of King Richard II. Five quarto editions were published by others between 1597 and 1615, and the play was also included in the First Folio of 1623, published seven years after Shakespeare's death. Texts from these and other sources were used to create subsequent editions of the play.
