It may be that he felt he had to maintain this posture of loyalty to protect his son Henry Bolingbroke ( the future Henry IV ), who had also been one of the Lords Appellant, from Richard's wrath ; but in 1398 Richard had Bolingbroke exiled, and on John of Gaunt's death the next year he disinherited Bolingbroke completely, seizing Gaunt's vast estates for the Crown.

This angers the nobility, who accuse Richard of wasting England's money, of taking Gaunt's money ( which rightfully belongs to Bolingbroke ) to fund a war with Ireland, of taxing the commoners, and of fining the nobles for crimes their ancestors committed.

Gaunt's architectural style emphasised rectangular design, the separation of ground floor service areas from the upper stories and a contrast of austere exteriors with lavish interiors, especially on the 1st floor of the inner bailey buildings.

Although now extensively damaged, these share the same style as the great hall ; this would have unified the appearance of Gaunt's palace in a distinct break from the more eclectic medieval tradition of design.

In 1387, John of Gaunt's grandson was born to Mary de Bohun, in the Queen's Chamber within the gatehouse of Monmouth Castle, while his father Henry Bolinbroke was hunting in the area.

There was organized opposition to his measures, and rioting in London: John of Gaunt's arms were reversed or defaced wherever they were displayed, and protestors pasted up lampoons on his supposedly dubious birth.

This effectively kept him off the scene while England endured the major political crisis of the conflict between Richard II and the Lords Appellant, who were led by John of Gaunt's younger brother Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester.
