 Was King John really England’s worst monarch, or just the most unlucky? In this episode, we explore the life and reign of John Lackland, the third Plantagenet king. From his bitter rivalry with Arthur of Brittany and the loss of Normandy, to his clashes with the Pope and his role as an itinerant judge, John’s reign was filled with conflict and scandal. But his greatest legacy came from failure: the Magna Carta, the charter that would reshape the balance of power and echo through centuries of law and democracy. Join us as we unravel the downfall of a king who lost everything......yet changed history forever.
