John Plantagenet: the last child of ttenry I1
and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the youngest
brother of Richard Lionheart, the possessor
of so small a portion of his family s wealth
that people called him Lackland. Four older
brothers had to die before hc became King
John, the most unjustly reviled, maligned and
neglected monarch in the history of England.
A different King John comes startlingly to
life in this exhilarating historical noveh A
fresh examination of the facts has yielded up
a complex, contradictory, figure of heroic size.
He seems contemporary in his battles with
himself, his past and his present. And his
struggles with the world around him-against
overwhehning odds in times as revolutionary
as the Renaissance to keep intact the king-
dom hc inherited-give us a powerful and
moving story of a man whose dreams and
needs drove him to disaster.
