Cr�ticas

‘“King John: An Underrated King” is, without a doubt, an excellent introduction to political, social and religious aspects of twelfth and thirteenth century England. The author draws a clear portrait of king John without losing his readers in a labyrinth of family dramas and shifting alliances.” —Genevi�ve Pigeon, ‘Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies’

Rese�a del editor

Through contextual analysis and by reassessing the chronicle evidence, Graham E. Seel presents a compelling reevaluation of the reign of King John. Each chapter features a timeline and includes both narrative and contextual analysis, and the volume also offers maps, diagrams and useful study questions. With its thought-provoking analysis of the key issues of King John's reign, such as the loss of the French territories, British achievement, Magna Carta, relations with the church, and civil war, 'King John: An Underrated King' presents an engaging argument for rehabilitating the reputation of King John.
