Tyranny and misconduct. Plus the point of a sword.

Richard II had borrowed money from various lords and others of the realm, promising to repay the money at a certain term, and had failed to do so.     
He continued his favorite sheriffs in office for two or three years instead of only the legal one year.

Richard II extorted large sums of money from abbots and priests for his expedition to Ireland.    
The King took the treasures and crown jewels to Ireland without the consent of the estates of the realm. He also falsified the records of the realm.
