Path across Gosford Green towards Walsgrave Road
Gosford Green is a triangular park surrounded by busy roads to the east of Coventry city centre. Once much larger, it was the place from where in 1398, King Richard II sent Thomas de Mowbray, Earl of Norfolk, and Henry Bolingbroke into exile, cancelling the trial by combat which was to have decided the fate of the two men, each of whom had accused the other of treason. The scene is portrayed at the beginning of Shakespeare's 'Richard II'. Bolingbroke later deposed Richard and was crowned Henry IV. A street to the north of Gosford Green is named King Richard Street. There are also streets named after Mowbray and Bolingbroke in the neighbourhood.
