Description

King John is a study of a king and his political misfortunes, set against the backdrop of a period of profound social and political change in early thirteenth-century Europe.

The author provides a fair-minded assessment of King John's reign, correcting distortions found in earlier accounts and offering an intimate picture of the business of the Crown. This includes the disputed succession, conflict with France, and events leading to Magna Carta.

Warren's analysis is both scholarly and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for those interested in history and the life of King John.
