Leben und Tod des Königs Johann by William Shakespeare

"Leben und Tod des Königs Johann" by William Shakespeare is a history play written in the mid-1590s. It follows King John of England as he battles challenges to his throne from his nephew Arthur, backed by France. Political alliances shift dramatically when the Pope excommunicates John, triggering war and rebellion. Nobles defect, armies clash, and conspiracies unfold as John struggles to maintain power. Through family betrayals, religious conflicts, and military confrontations, the play chronicles a tumultuous reign marked by ambition, loyalty, and the deadly cost of kingship.
