HENRY IV, King of England. - B. 3 April 1367 at Bolingbroke Castle, d. 20 March 1413 at Westminster. Son of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, he was elected king by Parliament in 1399, after Richard II had been deposed. Opposed to Wyclif's heretical movement, in 1401 he issued, in agreement with Parliament, a statute De haeretico comburendo forbidding the possession of heretical writings and imposing death at the stake on those who persisted in the false doctrines.
