Description
Reassessing the reign of King John, England's most maligned sovereign, this book presents a compelling reevaluation of his rule. Through contextual analysis and narrative, it argues for rehabilitating King John's reputation.
The volume explores key issues of John's reign, including the loss of French territories, British achievements, Magna Carta, relations with the church, and civil war. Each chapter is accompanied by a timeline outlining the period's key events, as well as maps and diagrams to support the analysis.
