Sean McGlynn

Bad King John

The Life & Reign of the Magna Carta Tyrant

Buch

Sean McGlynn shows that King John's reputation for evil and incompetence is well deserved in this new biography. He lost an empire, murdered his young nephew, starved a political opponent's wife and son to death, and ended his reign in 1216 with London and half of England under French control. Ties in with the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta this June.
