Description
King John: Treachery, Tyranny and the Road to Magna Carta
Discover the true story behind the infamous King John, whose reign was marked by oppression, rebellion, and the birth of a document that would shape the course of history.
Using contemporary chronicles and the king's own letters, historian Marc Morris brings to life the complex and often brutal world of 13th-century England, revealing a man whose rise to power was built on treachery and whose rejection of the Magna Carta led to civil war and foreign invasion.
