Koning Jan by William Shakespeare
"Koning Jan" by William Shakespeare is a history play written in the mid-1590s. It chronicles the turbulent reign of King John of England, whose throne is challenged by his nephew Arthur and the King of France. As political alliances shift and the Pope intervenes, John faces rebellion from his own nobles, foreign invasion, and questions of legitimate succession. Filled with battles, betrayals, and power struggles between church and state, the play dramatizes
one of England's most contested medieval reigns in a tale of ambition and survival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
