It's "'A Sort of Black Chapters': Historical Representation and the Interrogation of Power in Sixteenth-Century Poetic Depictions of Richard II."

The Gay Kings part (which predates the actual dissertation by several years) really only works plurally if you assume that Henry IV was a closet case. But that's okay, because he totally was. ;)
