Le roi Jean by William Shakespeare
"Le roi Jean" by William Shakespeare is a history play written in the mid-1590s about King John of England's turbulent reign. When France demands John surrender his throne to his nephew Arthur, political alliances shift violently amid questions of legitimacy and power. As religious conflict with the Pope erupts, nobles defect, armies clash, and loyalty proves fragile. With his kingdom crumbling and enemies closing in, John faces betrayal from within and invasion
from without in this chronicle of ambition, succession, and survival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
