The texts, both anonymous, are "Richard the Redeless," concerning the governmental style of Richard II, and "Mum and the Sothsegger," addressing social issues in the reign of Henry IV. Both works reveal that alliterative poetry continued to be the chief vehicle for political and social criticism at the turn of the 15th century.
