Who governed for Henry IV as his health declined?

  • Thomas of Lancaster

  • John of Gaunt

  • Henry of Monmouth

  • Edmund of York

Answer

As Henry IV's health deteriorated due to illness, the responsibility of governing fell upon his eldest son, Henry of Monmouth. He assumed a prominent role in the kingdom's affairs, demonstrating his capabilities and earning the respect of his father and the English nobility. Henry of Monmouth's regency paved the way for his eventual ascension to the throne as King Henry V, shaping the future course of England's history.
