Table of Contents Act IV, Scene 5 The scene takes place near Middleham Castle in Yorkshire. Enter Richard, Lord Hastings, Sir William Stanley and others. Richard tells Lord Hastings and Sir William Stanley why he has called them to this dense undergrowth of the park. His brother is prisoner to the Bishop who is liberal towards him and is often attended with weak guard. He may come this way for hunting and Richard had conveyed to him secretly the message that if he comes this way this way, he shall find his men with horses ready to set him free. King Edward comes with a huntsman and Richard shows him the horse. Hastings informs him that they will go to Lynn first and then by ship to Flanders. King Edward leaves with them bidding farewell to the Bishop who prays for his success in repossessing the crown. Notes: This short scene shows the escape of Edward from the Bishop and forwards the plot. Richard conveys to him secretly that he shall be rescued if he goes to a park nearby on the pretext of hunting. The plan is carried out and Edward escapes to Flanders. This scene reveals the laxness with which Edward is dealt with by the authorities. Table of Contents | |
